Running

Running at an easy-to-steady pace: a short flight between steps, the foot landing under the hips, the heel kicking up behind and the knee driving forward, arms bent at about 90° swinging opposite the legs. Shown on the spot, as on a treadmill.

Load and joint demand

Bodyweight exercise: the load slider has no effect here; body mass comes from your limits.

No gravity-based joint demand to show for this exercise.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

8/10 effort8fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 4 min hard, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 278 legs points, 35 core points.

Prime movers

Quadriceps, gluteus maximus, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors.

What to look for

  • Tall and light: land under the hips, not out in front.
  • Quick, short steps; relaxed shoulders.
  • Run at a pace you could keep for the whole race.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
