Interesting content - have you explored the role that the narrow shape of modern boots plays in injury risk? The popularity of wide-toe box shoes and general awareness of how our feet fit into modern footwear makes this a really interesting topic.
@@JustDr3-TV I'd like to second this request! I wear minimal footwear off the football pitch, and have done for years. When I play football 2-3 times per week, my toes tend to get crushed a little, but it's temporary. However, more problematic is the raised heel, versus no raised heel in my minimal/barefoot footwear. I often catch my heel when kicking with the raised heel, especially my weaker foot, and it effects the strike on the ball. I wondered if it would ever cause injury. Edit: I vary between Mizuno Morelia Neo AG and Puma King astroturf (I use the Pumas in winter when the pitch can be slippy, studs have less grip on artificial grass).
I started using Artificial Turf shoes for playing on grass. They use rubber outsoles and my feet don’t feel sore after a game. They are the Bright Orange New Balance Furon.
This is great. I’ve always felt like the arguments for conical studs on football boots were full of pseudo science. Personally I’ve long felt like the stud length is more important than shape, but it’s clear more research is needed!
Yeah you definitely have a good point there for the stud length being an important factor. There are some research articles that looked at the difference in stud length to performance and injury prevention and found that the longer the stud the more traction you would have and the faster you can be. However, I think it would also have to depend on the different types of surface (natural grass, turf, or hard court)
Blade vs conical has only ever had real safety merit in the context of artificial grass. Artificial grass does not tear out of the ground as easily as real grass. This means artificial grass fibers have a greater likelihood of gripping and holding a spike that would otherwise easily tear free in real grass. Bladed studs, simply as a consequence of their shape, are more likely to twist tightly into artificial grass fibers. Conical studs, simply as a consequence of their shape, are less likely to twist tightly into artificial grass fibers. A circular shape simply can't be twisted into unyielding fibers as tightly as a non-circular shape.
in addition to traction and torque from studs impacting injury rates, examine the shape of the toebox. the narrow shape restricts the movement of the toes and by extension, the muscles in the foot and ankle. A specific shoe with an alternative toebox is the shoe from Natur Athletics.
This is a very great contents! As a students who study biomechanics and play football (soccer) as well, I can relate a lot to this video. My mind always consider many biomechanical factors when looking for a new pair of boots. Anyway, what do you think about the stud length as one of the factors? Because getting the actual pair of boots with AG studs can be quite the hassle.
Stud length is an important factor to consider in terms of performance. I found this article that could be interesting for you. What they did was compare stud length to performance on turf (Gen 3 Artificial Turf). They found that the longer the stud the faster the participants were through different cutting tasks. In terms of bladed versus elliptical studs in this paper, the bladed stud had a better cutting performance. Another study looked more at implications with injury prevention and found a few differences in longer stud length decreasing vertical ground reaction force (GRF) and prolonging the time-to-peak vertical GRF, which can help to reduce lower extremity injuries.

@ Interesting. I've always considered the injury prevention factors rather than a performance one. I'll be sure to look into those articles. Looking forward to more of your contents. Cheers!
I remember once I bought a pair of Adidas Messi 16.1. They were supposed to have an outsole that improved grip and allowed for quick turns. It was totally the opposite. After the first game, I gave up on them. I could practically only run safely in a straight line. Since then, I really pay attention to this. Honestly, I'm not even a fan of the Copa Mundial outsole
With one study showing an advantage, and another showing equal, the sum conclusion still leans in favor of round studs (no evidence that the modern studs have any injury prevention advantage).
nice video, thanks! I believe its also more of an issue of the playing field, if you play with bladed studs on artificial grass, then youre just exposing yourself to so much unnecessary risks. on natural grass, overall the risks will be less because the natural soil will always give before your joints, but plastic grass will not
I use AG stud patterns on turf. Longer FG studs (blades or conical) are too long for me. I like short and round studs for turf. I wear turf shoes for indoor turf.
… also their are many more stud types than this including the 3 way triangle design Nike recently shifted away from and they all have biomedical flaws that are documented and quite frankly obvious hints why we have AG and why AG is 90% conical studs, also the term you need to be using is conical studs, not elliptical stud (😂no person from football would use that term most of use wouldn’t even understand what you meant by it)
Depends on the type of turf field, if cheap, don’t wear studs you will slide all over. If real turf then studs are fine because the studs will actually sink in.
Not just the type of turf, but the age of it too. I had to give up on my AG boots on one of the pitches I often play on because it was old and worn. A good quality pitch in its day, but has clearly been compressed over years of use. I use astroturf boots instead on it now, and they work noticeably better.
You wasted the first five minutes of this video talking about something that’s very much irrelevant to modern cleats and most of our history, no one needed this to understand modern cleat design
Injury prevention is why I use AG cleats for everything, they still have plenty of traction but also move enough to decrease the risk of injury
i play with chevron studs , mecurial vapor 11 and my tendans are killing me 😪😪

Good god what an under-rated youtuber!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
This was such a well made video I can see the effort
Thank you! I have recently been experimenting with different story telling styles in my videos. I am glad you like it!

@ links to the studies you’re referencing? Otherwise that’s exactly what I mean by pseudo science
@@duaneswaby622 You don't need studies, just use your brain.
@ wow, very insightful

Please make a video on Nike Phantom VSN 2 academy DF FG/MG studs pattern design and advantage and disadvantage of that studs

Seems to me bladed studs on the heel are significantly less of a risk than on the forefoot, as its the forefoot which pivots, not the heel.
Good point!

I definitely only use AG studs on an AG surface. I'm fine with the bladed studs on grass, but yeah it can be a bit dangerous for sure.
Remember me when you're famous bro
Awesome video i like to see a video about ag boots u hear influencers says is safer than blades studs on ag but who know they never cite anything.
yeah dude and all these scientists have never actually played football
@@trundibar you do know it is possible for scientists to also play sport?
I've been using SG cleats on turf for years now... I don't understand the fear mongering... unathletic people tend to get injured...
Please make a video about the football pitches
I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion
I use AG stud patterns on turf. Longer FG studs (blades or conical) are too long for me. I like short and round studs for turf.
I wear turf shoes for indoor turf.
Awesome video
Using your biomech education, is MG boots really that much better then FG on turf?
ı like the mix of both, something like Tiempos. Full conical lacks a bit traction for me on -damp- grass, especially if the studs are old school wide.
I think the most important variable is stud LENGTH.
commenting this comment so you can get a comment
This is great haha

Same!!
Love this video and my god the Brits were nuts wearing such heavy boots

Turf shoes on all turf fields for me
Turf? Even on FG?
