Effects of Physical Fatigue on Muscle Activities and Running Kinetics in Individuals with both Obesity and Pronated Feet

This study reveals that while running-induced fatigue increases ground reaction forces and generally reduces lower-limb muscle activity in both normal-weight and obese individuals, those with obesity and pronated feet fail to exhibit the compensatory increase in gluteus medius activity seen in normal-weight runners, potentially compromising pelvic stability and increasing injury risk.
