Biomechanics of Walking and Running
Walking involves movements where the body alternates movements on opposite sides.
Description of the Action of Walking
Walking consists of two major phases:
- Stance Phase: One or two legs are on the ground, providing support.
- Swing Phase (Balance): One leg is off the ground, moving forward.
Transition from Walking to Running
The transition from walking to running occurs involuntarily, usually at a consistent speed determined by leg length, approximately 2.5 m/s.
