Summary: This study compared the running economy and 3-km time-trial performance of runners wearing Nike Vaporfly 4% (VP4), Saucony Endorphin lightweight racing flats (FLAT), and their own running shoes (OWN). The results showed that VP4 improved running economy in male recreational runners at relative speeds compared to their own shoes, but the improvements were not significant compared to FLAT. Additionally, more runners achieved better time-trial performances on the treadmill in VP4 compared to FLAT and their own shoes.

Summary: Short-term rental platforms play a crucial role in understanding contemporary overtourism, as they directly contribute to the displacement of residents and radically change the morphology of tourist cities. The concerns about overtourism arise from the increasing penetration of tourists into residential areas, rather than the sheer number of tourists. Therefore, it is important to plan cities where tourism can coexist with other urban functions.
