A pair of suitable basketball shoe is the essential gear of the basketball player. One of The important factors of purchasing basketball shoe is cushioning ability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cushioning properties of three marketing basketball shoes in different impact heights. All shoes were placed on the shock absorbing ability test instrument (SAATI) to survey. The weight of the impact is 8±0.1 kg. According the procedure, SAATI was adjusted at 5 impact heights (3 cm、4 cm、5 cm、6 cm and 7 cm) to impact shoes. Use force plate to measure the peak reaction force. The amount of the data of each shoe was 30 totally. Results were as follow: (1) The data of the peak reaction force of different shoe was different significantly (p<.05). (2) The rank of the peak reaction force, Btbmidlux > Mayhen2 > Btbmidlux. (3) Fourumbounce reduced 7-10% peak reaction force compared with Btbmidlux; Mayhen2 reduced 4-9% peak reaction force compared with Btbmidlux. (4) There was interaction between impact heights and the shoes. In conclusion, Fourumbounce series basketball shoes were with better shock absorbing ability, so it suggested that the purchaser could use Fourumbounce series basketball shoes to increase the cushioning ability to reduce the injury.
