Running is a method of continuous movement across land in which an organism travels by foot, ranging in gait speeds from a light jog to a sprint. Unlike walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, this movement is characterized by a key moment in which all feet are airborne. Though historically an activity necessary for survival, modern humans typically engage in running as a recreational pastime that supports the maintenance or improvement of one’s physical fitness and mental health. Correct running posture is vital to minimize risk of injury, especially when training to participate in races, a popular category of sport that includes marathons, cross country competitions, track events, and so on.
How many calories does running burn?
According to Dr. Daniel V. Vigil, a professor at the health sciences department at UCLA, a general estimate for calories burned while running one mile is around 100 calories. However, this depends greatly on weight. Speed doesn’t play a major factor in the amount of calories burned, and the same amount of calories can be burning by running a longer time at a slower pace.
People Walking
Human walking, a type of human gait, is the slowest form of bipedal forward motion of the body controlled by the alternation and sequencing of various parts of the body. Walking variations can be differentiated and characterized through adjustments to limb movements, speed, force, and friction caused when a foot strikes the ground surface. When walking, one foot is in contact with the ground at all times. Walking is the lowest speed of human gait.
