Abstract: The effect of different material combinations of honor guard boot soles on cushioning property was investigated to provide technical support for the design of honor guard boots. Two kinds of materials with different thickness were compressed by computer compression energy absorption testing machine, and the optimum thickness composite was selected. The computer system shockproof performance testing machine was used for the impact test of the sole, and two kinds of combined soles with excellent shockproof performance were selected to make the improved military boots A and B. Fifteen healthy male college students were recruited to wear three kinds of honor guard boots and perform tests under two kinds of movements. Relevant parameters such as the ground reaction force and the acceleration of ankle joint, knee joint and forehead perpendicular to the ground were collected. Under the goose-step motion, the improved boots B showed the minimum FPF (P < 0.05). The IMLR and IPLR indexes of the improved boots A and B were significantly lower than those of the standard boots (P < 0.05). Under the running movement, the IMLR of the improved boots A and B was significantly lower than that of the standard boots (P < 0.05). The cushioning ability of the material combination of the improved boots A and B is superior to that of the standard boots, and the shock absorption ability of the material combination of the improved boots B is the best. The composite design of the bottom parts can effectively attenuate the impact, which is of positive significance for the training and damage mechanism related to the landing action.
