On the good foot - Improving foot function and strength for greater speed
Our feet, as we have indicated in previous posts, are a complex structure. There are 29 muscles and 26 bones in each and over 100 ligaments and 19 tendons. The Achilles tendon, for example, acts very much like a spring which deforms and recoils on every impact from walking to sprinting. Our arch does a very similar job and works in conjunction with the toes to also absorb, produce and transfer power.
