Background: Many researchers reported that flexible flatfoot would affect the performance of the exercise. But they lack of direct evidence to prove it. Most scholars believe that is causing affected lower extremity biomechanics. In 2009, there was a study used direct outcome measures to evaluate the difference between the subjects with flatfoot or normal foot. And the study showed there was no significant difference on the performance of the exercise between two groups. To review the prior studies, we can find that the most effects of the flatfoot did not occur immediately. It maybe affects the results of the study. Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the exercise performance before and after they finish a round of running, and compare with different groups. Methods: A total of ninety subjects have a mean age 21.18 ± 1.25 years were recruited. Each foot of the subject was collected footprint in the beginning and the end of the study. Each subject would receive the tests of exercise performance before and after the running. To determine the flatfoot status, we used Chippaux-Smirak index (CSI) acquired from the footprints. After the data collection, we classify the foot condition to four groups by the order of the CSI. Statistical analysis: 1) Chi-square analyses were presented for categorical variable of the basic data; 2) One-way ANOVA analysis were used to identify significant factor from continuous variables of basic data, pre-test of the exercise, post-test of the exercise, and the normalization of the change between the pre-test and post-test; 3) Pair-t test analysis was used to identify the difference of the CSI between first footprint and second footprint. Result: In the basic data, we found there had significant difference on body weight and body mass index in first type, non-dominant side of second type and third type of the classify methods (p=0.010, p=0.002;p=0.037, p=0.011;p=0.015, p=0.004). In the tests of the exercise, we found significant difference on 1) post-test of the eye-closed one leg standing test in first, non-dominant side of the second type and third type of the classify methods (p=0.007, p=0.003, p=0.003). 2) the normalization of the change between the pre-test and post-test of the eye-closed one leg standing test in non-dominant side of the second and third type of the classify methods(p=0.006, p
