Abstract
This review article summarized the literature regarding running gait. It describes characteristics of running gait and running gait cycle, explains running anatomy in relation to lower and upper body mechanism; contribution of muscles, and joint running gait cycle. The concept of running kinematics and kinetics has described motion characteristics such as position, velocity, acceleration, and force applied during the running cycle. Running gait analysis techniques has discussed such as motion analysis, force plate analysis, and electromyography.
Highlights
Sports activities and exercises are known to have a positive influence on individual’s physical fitness, as well as reduce the incidence of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and many other chronic health problems [1]
The following keyword has been used while searching the online literature like running, running biomechanics, gait cycle, type of gait, running kinetics and kinematics, and motion analysis
This article summarized that running biomechanics has improved immensely form the past few decades
Summary
Sports activities and exercises are known to have a positive influence on individual’s physical fitness, as well as reduce the incidence of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and many other chronic health problems [1]. Running discipline can be performed over a variety of distance and speeds, ranging from jogging to sprint and the most common of which are recreational running [2,3,4,5]. It has become the most often used exercise to improve health.
