Legibility is the ease with which a reader can decode symbols. In addition to written language, it can also refer to behaviour [1] or architecture, [2] for example. From the perspective of communication research, it can be described as a measure of the permeability of a communication channel. A large number of known factors can affect legibility.
It exists in almost every dance. Walks approximately correspond normal walking steps, taking into the account the basic technique of the dance in question. (For example, in Latin-dance walks the toe hits the floor first, rather than the heel.) In dance descriptions the term walk is usually applied when two or more steps are taken in the same ...
Afghan walking: The Afghan Walk is a rhythmic breathing technique synchronized with walking. It was born in the 1980s on the basis of the observations made by the Frenchman Édouard G. Stiegler, during his contacts with Afghan caravaners, capable of making walks of more than 60 km per day for dozens of days. [33] [34]

Imageability is a measure of how easily a physical object, word or environment will evoke a clear mental image in the mind of any person observing it. [1] [2] It is used in architecture and city planning, in psycholinguistics, [3] and in automated computer vision research. [4]
Hand walking is a skill that relies on a prerequisite ability to perform handstands, which in turn requires adequate upper body pressing strength in the deltoids and triceps as well as a heightened sense of balance and spatial awareness. Because the body is inverted during hand walking, blood pressure in the brain is greater than normal.
A mature walking pattern is characterized by the gait cycle being approximately 60% stance phase, 40% swing phase. [18] Initiation of gait is a voluntary process that involves a preparatory postural adjustment where the center of mass is moved forward and laterally prior to unweighting one leg.
