Abstract
Dear Editor, Another critical factor presented in the current study may contribute to the observed biomechani- cal differences: the belt-speed variations [4, 7–10], which depends on technical specifications of the MT [11]. Despite the potential importance of this aspect, the authors do not suggest any perspective to take into account this factor in future studies. Accordingly, we wish to take this opportunity to shed light on the potential effect of the intra-stride belt-speed variability on the biomechanics of running particularly, to the difference in the braking/pushing phases of running. To do so, we have re-analysed the data of Dewolf et al. [12, 13] considering the instantaneous velocity of the belt.
