  2. Chapati Movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapati_Movement

    The movement [3] first came into attention in February 1857. Reports began pouring from villages of North India that thousands of chapatis [ 4 ] were passing from one hand to another. The usual distribution procedure involved a person who would come from the jungle, give the village watchman several chapatis and tell him to make more chapatis ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_injuries

    Running injuries (or running-related injuries, RRI) affect about half of runners annually. The frequencies of various RRI depend on the type of running, such as speed and mileage. Some injuries are acute, caused by sudden overstress, such as side stitch, strains, and sprains. Many of the common injuries that affect runners are chronic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    The bones provide stability to the body. Muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in the movement of bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly onto each other. Muscles contract to move the bone attached at the joint.

  5. Gait (human) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_(human)

    The cause of this change in gait in shoe running is unknown, but Lieberman noted that there is correlation between the foot-landing style and exposure to shoes. [6] In some individuals the gait pattern is largely unchanged (the leg and foot positions are identical in barefoot and shoes), but the wedge shape of the padding moves the point of ...

  6. Running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running

    Running is a gait with an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions). [1] 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. [2]

  7. Kinesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesiology

    Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.

  8. Gait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait

    The movement of each limb was partitioned into a stance phase, where the foot was in contact with the ground, and a swing phase, where the foot was lifted and moved forwards. [1] [2] Each limb must complete a cycle in the same length of time, otherwise one limb's relationship to the others can change with time, and a steady pattern cannot occur.

  9. Pronation of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronation_of_the_foot

    Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase.
