-[running] is a method of [terrestrial loco-motion] allowing [humans] ( + other ‘animals’) to move rapidly ‘on foot’-
.
(‘running’ is a type of ‘gait’ characterized by an ‘aerial phase’ in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions))
(this is in contrast to ‘walking’, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the stance leg or legs in an inverted pendulum fashion.
A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity.
The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting.
It is assumed that the ancestors of mankind developed the ability to run for long distances about 2.6 million years ago, probably in order to hunt animals.
Competitive running grew out of religious festivals in various areas.
(records of ‘competitive racing’ date back to the ‘tailteann games’ in Ireland in 1829 BCE, while the first recorded “Olympic Games” took place in 776 BCE)
.
(“running” has been described as the “world’s most accessible sport”)
