About this study
Official title: Use of Advanced Footwear Technology in Federated Athletes. An Ambispective Observational Study
Background. Athletics is one of the sports modalities with the greatest growth in the number of federative licenses in our country. In the last five years, the use of footwear with Advanced Footwear Technology (AFT) has become widespread in order to increase athletic performance.
Objective. To analyze the risk of injury in athletes using Advanced Footwear Technology as well as the sporting, sociodemographic and anthropometric variables that influence this risk.

Method. Ambispective cohort study. Ninety-five athletes competing in events longer than 800 meters will be recruited. The primary variable will be the number of injuries, muscular and tendon, of lower limbs in the last 3 athletic seasons. Secondary and modifying variables will be: age, sex, weekly training load with and without AFT, weekly training frequency, completion of a complementary toning program and foot size. Potential confounding variables will be body mass index, main training surface and commercial footwear models used. The analysis will calculate the risk of injury in these athletes and assess the influence of confounders and trend analysis on the primary variable, stratified by potential confounders.
Expected results. To calculate the risk of injury as a function of sport, sociodemographic and anthropometric variables. Identify

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Assessment of the number of muscle and tendon injuries recorded by athletes in the lower limbs (time frame: Screening visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
