<p>In various sliding activities or sports, such as ice skating, a desired angle for the foot plane within a boot is selected. When conditions change, such as going to a different location or even changes within the original location such as temperature changes, the original foot plane angle is no longer appropriate to give the best convenience and performance results. In order to determine the more appropriate foot plane angle the friction coefficient of the surface for which the original foot plane angle existed is determined and then the new friction coefficient is measured at the new location or under the changed conditions. The change in initial friction coefficient to the new friction coefficient is then used to determine what change should be made to the foot plane angle.</p> |
