本研究之目的在於驗證籃球鞋的中底能量回彈是否具有其效益，能否增進 籃球員在場上之運動表現。三雙受測市售籃球鞋之鞋底，分別為全腳掌 Boost、 全腳掌 Zoom Air 氣墊及傳統 EVA 中底。本研究招募 13 位大學男子籃球隊隊 員，在實際的木質籃球場上，進行籃球場邊線 17 趟折返跑測試，每雙鞋進行三 組測試，每組之間休息 3 分鐘。在每組 17 趟折返測試中，分為六段時間，並記 錄每組六段完成時間、每組最大心率、每組間六段時間之心率變化，以重複量 數單因子變異數分析(one-way repeated measures ANOVA)比較各鞋之間所測得 參數之差異，顯著水準為 p<.05。研究結果發現，在第二、三組折返跑，測得的 最大心率，EVA 籃球鞋(187.0±5.9 下、188.8±5.9 下)顯著高於 Air(184.6±6.7 下、 185.5±7.4 下)與 Boost(184.8±7.0 下、185.8±6.6 下)籃球鞋(p<.05)。每組完成時 間部分，第一組測得 EVA 籃球鞋(64.1±2.3 秒)顯著高於 Boost(62.4±2.5 秒)籃球 鞋(p<.05);在第三組測試，則 EVA 籃球鞋(69.7±3.4 秒)皆顯著高於 Air(68.6±2.7 秒)與 Boost(68.1±2.9 秒)籃球鞋(p<.05)。綜合以上結果得知，Zoom Air 與 Boost 中底籃球鞋在中底能量回彈的效益表現上，優於 EVA 中底籃球鞋，對於運動表 現有顯著的影響。

The purpose of this study is to verify whether the energy return of basketball shoes midsole has its benefits and whether it can improve the performance of basketball players on the court. The soles of the three pairs of commercially available basketball shoes are the full-foot Boost, the full-foot Zoom Air and the traditional EVA midsole. In this study, 13 college men's basketball team members were recruited. On the basketball court, the basketball court sideline 17 times side to side repeated sprint test was conducted. Each pair of shoes was tested in three sets, with a break of 3 minutes between each set. In each set of 17 times repeated sprint test, divided into six periods, and recorded the completion time of each set, the maximum heart rate of each set, and the heart rate change of six periods between each set. The study found that in the second and third sets of repeated sprint, the measured maximum heart rate, EVA basketball shoes (187.0 ± 5.9, 188.8 ± 5.9) was significantly higher than Air (184.6 ± 6.7, 185.5 ± 7.4) and Boost (184.8 ± 7.0, 185.8 ± 6.6) basketball shoes (p <.05). In the completion time of each set, the first set measured EVA basketball shoes (64.1±2.3 seconds) was significantly higher than Boost (62.4±2.5 seconds) basketball shoes (p<.05); in the third set test, EVA basketball shoes ( 69.7 ± 3.4 seconds) were significantly higher than Air (68.6 ± 2.7 seconds) and Boost (68.1 ± 2.9 seconds) basketball shoes (p <.05). Based on the above results, Zoom Air and Boost midsole basketball shoes are superior to EVA midsole basketball shoes in the performance of midsole energy return, which has a significant impact on sports performance.
