Marlies Nitschke presented this week at the Footwear Biomechanics Symposium 2021 our research on “Prediction of the effect of midsole stiffness and energy return using trajectory optimisation”. This research origins from a fantastic cooperation between adidas and the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. This work is extending our prior work in virtual testing of footwear to not require a prototype anymore and to be therefore able to separately study midsole stiffness and energy return.
