This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of the landing impact characteristics of sport shoes to the landing mode. In most court sport activities, jumping and landing are fundamental motions, and the landing motion is largely composed of forefoot and rearfoot landing modes. Since the landing impact may, but frequently, lead to unexpected injuries of players, the investigation of its characteristics and the sport shoes design for reducing it are of a great importance. To investigate the landing impact characteristics to the landing mode, we construct a shoes-leg coupled model and carry out the numerical simulation by an explicit finite element method.
