  2. Horse gait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_gait

    Modern Thoroughbred horse races are seldom longer than 1.5 miles (2.4 km), though in some countries Arabian horses are sometimes raced as far as 2.5 miles (4.0 km). The fastest galloping speed is achieved by the American Quarter Horse , which in a short sprint of a quarter mile (0.25 miles (0.40 km)) or less has been clocked at speeds ...

  3. Equine conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_conformation

    A short humerus decreases the scope of a horse, and contributes to a short, choppy stride. A short stride increases the impact stress on front legs, especially the feet. The rider is jarred and the horse absorbs a lot of concussion. More steps are needed to cover ground, increasing the chance of front-end lameness.

  4. Running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running

    The main difference between long- and short-distance runners is the length of stride rather than the rate of stride. [ 52 ] [ 53 ] During running, the speed at which the runner moves may be calculated by multiplying the cadence (steps per minute) by the stride length.

  5. Canter and gallop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canter_and_gallop

    The canter is a controlled three-beat gait, [1] while the gallop is a faster, four-beat variation of the same gait. [2] It is a natural gait possessed by all horses, faster than most horses' trot, or ambling gaits. The gallop is the fastest gait of the horse, averaging about 40 to 48 kilometres per hour (25 to 30 mph). [3]

  6. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

    Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(running)

    The front block will be about 1 3 ⁄ 4-2 foot lengths from the starting line. The non-dominant foot will be in the back block. The paddle will be set as high as possible. The back block will be set about 3–3 12 foot lengths from the starting line. The front block and back block are only about 1-foot in length apart.

  8. Bipedal gait cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedal_gait_cycle

    Stride Length: It is defined as the distance between any two successive points of heel contact of the same foot. In a normal gait, the stride length is double the step length. Walking Base or Stride Width: It is defined as the side-to-side distance between the line of step of the two feet. Cadence: It is defined as the number of steps per unit ...

  9. Motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill

    These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together. [1] The goal of motor skill is to optimize the ability to perform the skill at the rate of success, precision, and to reduce the energy consumption required for performance.
