Description

Running is a physical activity that involves moving at a faster pace than walking by propelling the body forward through a series of quick, coordinated steps. It engages the legs, core, and arms to generate speed and maintain balance. During running, one foot is always off the ground, creating a rhythmic cycle of foot strikes, usually on the balls or heels of the feet, and airborne phases. The body leans slightly forward, with arms bent at the elbows, moving naturally in coordination with the legs to enhance momentum. Running can vary in intensity, from slow, steady jogging to faster, more intense sprints, and can be done for fitness, recreation, or competition.
