E.Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What's your opinion? F.You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work? |
Nigg's Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.
77.B
Nigg's Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don't know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it's likely to be good for you.
78.C
Nigg's Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.
79.F
Nigg's Answer:Yes,for about 80per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.
80.E
Nigg's Answer:There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent.With a few exceptions,people don't run barefoot,so it may be that it's not an advantage,or it may be that we're just not used to it.
分析 本文是对运动专家Benno Nigg的采访记录.
1.对于价格高的鞋子比便宜的鞋子是否更能阻止伤痛的问题,Benno Nigg认为这个论调夸大其词,在伤痛上鞋子不是主要因素;
2.对于买鞋子的时候应该注意什么,Benno Nigg认为舒适是最好的标准;
3.对于价格高鞋子是否更适合锻炼,Benno Nigg认为有一定的关系,然而对于普通的跑步者没有多大的不同;
4.对于他的不稳定的Masai MBT鞋设计,Benno Nigg认为这个设计能有助于训练脚踝处的小肌肉,减少膝盖和后背的伤痛;
5.对于光脚跑步是否比穿鞋更好,Benno Nigg认为这个说法没有明显的证据,应该找适合自己的方法.

79.F.根据79题中的The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.可知本段讨论这个设计的好处,所以答案是F.You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work?
80.E.根据80题中的There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot可知本段讨论光脚跑步的利弊,所以答案是E.Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What's your opinion?
