The Running Cycle[edit | edit source]
Running is similar to walking in terms of locomotor activity. However, there are key differences. Having the ability to walk does not been that the individual has the ability to run.
Running requires:
- Greater balance
- Greater muscle strength
- Greater joint range of movement
There is a need for greater balance because the double support period present in walking is not present when running. There is also the addition of a double float period during which both feet are off the ground, not making contact with the support surface.
