* A higher cadence also reduces peak leg deceleration as well as peak impact forces in the ankle and knee joints<ref name="Clarke-1985"/>.
* Higher cadence is also related to a reduction in [[Overstriding]]<ref name="Heiderscheit-2011"/>.
* A cadence of around 90 is also associated with greater running efficiency [[Running Economy]] than lower or higher cadences<ref name="Hamill-1995"/>, though another study found 85 was optimal<ref name="LiebermanWarrener2015"/>. One problem with these studies is that they allow little or no time for the runner to adapt to the tested cadence, and I think this makes it probable that the detected Running Economy is not representative.
* Not surprisingly, a higher cadence reduces [[Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness]] and the associated weakness<ref name="RowlandsEston2001"/>.
* One study<ref name="WILLSON"/> showed that as people become tired, their cadence goes up, and with the higher cadence goes lower impact forces. Although a shorter stride/faster cadence results in less landing force, a longer stride length/lower cadence is associated with less of the impact force reaching the head<ref name="Mercer-2003"/>.
