The effect of oral contraception and of exercise on the renin-angiotensin system was studied in 20 highly trained athletes, of whom 10 were ingesting oral contraceptives (users) and 10 were not (nonusers), and in 24 sedentary age-matched healthy female subjects, of whom 13 were users and 11 were nonusers. No training-related effects were observed with the exception of renin substrate, which was significantly higher in the athletes. The plasma concentrations of active renin and of trypsin-activatable prorenin were significantly lower in the subjects taking oral contraceptives. Renin substrate, however, was significantly higher in the oral contraceptives group. No difference in plasma renin activity (PRA) was observed between users and nonusers. The results demonstrate the well-known estrogen-induced stimulation of renin substrate synthesis by the liver and suggest a decreased secretion of renin by the kidney. Exhaustive exercise of short duration, performed by the trained athletes only, stimulated the renin-angiotensin system. An increase in PRA and in active renin concentration was observed. The prorenin concentration did not change significantly. The magnitude of the exercise-induced changes was considerably influenced by oral contraceptive medication. Nonusers showed a significantly greater increase in PRA and active renin and total renin concentration than users. Renin substrate decreased significantly during exercise in the nonusers only. These results demonstrate that oral contraceptives have a suppressive effect on renin secretion at rest, an effect that becomes more prominent during exercise, i.e., physiological stimulation.

High heeled shoes may alter the regular loading pattern of the plantar pressure, especially increased in the forefoot area. Walking with narrow base of high heeled shoes may induce the brisk acceleration of the supported leg due to instability that increases the force on the plantar area. Particularly, this phenomenon may be amplified while slow running, but never been investigated. Materials and Methods: Plantar pressures were measured for different specific area of foot using the Pedar-X system. The effects on plantar pressure with different sized bases (1.2× 1.2 cm2 and 2.2 × 3.5 cm2) of high-heeled shoe (7.8 cm in height) were examined while walking in thirteen healthy female subjects and during slow running in nine healthy female subjects. Results: The plantar pressures of the hallux and toe while wearing narrow base high heel were significantly (p < 0.05) greater than those when walking with wearing wide base one. For both narrow and wide base heels, significantly increased (p < 0.05) plantar pressure were found in the medial forefoot while slow running at 2.0 m/s as compared with walking at 1.0 m/s and 1.5 m/s. While slow running with wearing narrow base high heel indicated significantly (p < 0.05) increased plantar pressures in the medial, central and lateral forefoot and toes regions compared with those with wearing wide base one. Conclusion: The findings suggest that if individuals have to wear high heeled shoes, it would be better to select one with a wide based heel to avoid running in at any circumstance.
