网球等法庭运动深受老年人的欢迎，对保持身心健康很重要。鞋类会影响运动员的运动体验和受伤风险。之前通过访谈和焦点小组进行的初步工作确定了有关舒适性（包括缓冲）、功能性（包括宽度）和选择（包括外观）的关键主题，这些都是老年人鞋类的重要方面。本研究的目的是探讨对运动鞋的态度以及对参加球场运动的老年人来说重要的鞋类功能。对英国/爱尔兰每周至少参加一次法庭运动的老年人进行了一项在线调查。问卷项目包括有关年龄、性别、比赛水平和运动项目的描述性信息，以及有关态度和重要鞋类特征的李克特项目问题。使用混合方法，将百分比一致性和重要性与定性评论相结合。对于超过 95% 的受访者来说，舒适度、适当的抓地力、良好的缓冲和整体支撑都很重要。对于超过 80% 的受访者来说，宽度、耐用性和减少受伤的可能性也很重要。大约 20% 的女性参与者认为，她们很难购买到符合自己审美要求的运动鞋，而男性参与者的这一比例约为 10%。一些女性表示需要购买足够宽度的男鞋，而 12% 的受访者表示穿着跑鞋等非特定鞋类，通常是为了提供额外的缓冲或避免足部疼痛，这可能会使她们面临更大的受伤风险，例如脚踝扭伤。英国/爱尔兰的运动鞋行业似乎可以采取更多措施来提高球场运动中老年人的舒适度和安全性。
Court sports like tennis are popular with older adults and important for maintaining physical and mental health. Footwear can influence player experience and injury risk in sports. Previous preliminary work using interviews and focus groups identified key themes regarding comfort (including cushioning), functionality (including a wide width) and choice (including appearance) that are important aspects of footwear for older adults. The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes towards athletic footwear and the footwear features considered important in older adults playing court sports across the population. An online survey was conducted of older adults in the UK/Ireland who participated in court sports at least once a week. Questionnaire items included descriptive information on age, gender, playing level and sport played and Likert item questions regarding attitudes and important footwear features. Using a mixed methods approach, percentage agreement and importance was combined with qualitative comments. Comfort, appropriate grip, good cushioning and overall support were all important for over 95% of respondents. Width, durability and reducing the likelihood of injury were also important to over 80% of respondents. Around 20% of female participants agreed they had difficulty in purchasing sports shoes with their desired aesthetics compared to around 10% of male participants. Some women reported needing to buy men’s shoes for adequate width, while 12% of respondents reported wearing non-specific footwear like running shoes, often for extra cushioning or to avoid foot pain, which could put them at greater risk of injuries such as ankle sprains. It would appear the athletic footwear industry in the UK/Ireland could do more to improve player comfort and safety of older adults in court sports.
