Document Summary
Walking is a process of alternately losing balance and recovering it while moving forward in an upright position body should display little up-and-down or side-to-side movement. The essentials of a mature running pattern are: The trunk maintains a slight forward lean throughout the stride pattern. Hopping is a springing action from one foot, in any direction, to landing on the same foot. One-foot takeoff propels the body upward to a landing on the opposite foot. Arm opposition is the same as for the run. A slide is a combination of a step and a run. The lead step is quickly followed by the free foot closing to replace the supporting foot. Weight is primarily on the balls of the feet. Is an exaggerated slide in a forward direction. The lead leg lifts and bends and then thrusts forward to support the weight. The rear leg quickly closes to replace the supporting leg.
