    Running is a popular physical activity with 50 million participants in North America. Running can cause overuse injuries in those who are not properly conditioned or wear incorrect footwear. The main difference between running and walking is that running does not have a double support phase where both feet touch the ground at the same time, instead running has a double float phase where neither foot touches the ground.

    6.3.

    ADULT RUNNING-GAIT BIOMECHANICS


    Running is the most popular physical activity in North America with an
    estimated fifty million participants (Ferber & MacDonald, 2014). Running
    as a repetitive exercise is associated with overuse injuries in poorly
    conditioned participants or persons using incorrect footwear.
    The primary difference between running and walking is the absence of a
    double support phase where both feet are in contact with the ground.
    During running this phase is replaced by a phase called Double float
    during which both feet do not touch the ground.
