    The document provides guidance on analyzing the running form. It describes the key components of proper running technique including foot rise, knee drive, foot contact, arm action, and keeping the trunk stable. The analysis involves observing a subject's running and assessing each component as clearly evident, evident, or not evident using a provided table. A discussion section prompts the user to further analyze stride characteristics, provide a performance score, identify areas for improvement, and discuss the importance of running in sports.

    Running Analysis Activity

    The sporting action of running is critical for participation in almost all sports.
    The ability to use an effective movement pattern to run will increase efficiency and allow
    appropriate modifications of speed and direction.

    The correct sporting action for running should demonstrate the following :

    FOOT RISE: After ground contact, the knee is flexed and the heel is brought close towards
    the buttocks.

    KNEE DRIVE: After ground contact, the knee is flexed and the heel is brought close towards
    the buttocks.

    FOOT CONTACT: The front of the foot makes contact before the heel. Contact is close to
    directly beneath the centre of gravity ( foot touches under or just in front of hip ) On contact
    the hip, knee and ankle flex to absorb forces of impact. The hip, knee and ankle joints extend
    powerfully against the ground to drive into the next stride.

    ARM ACTION: As the right knee is rotated forward and upward - the left arm is swung forward
    & upward and - the right arm is swung backward & upward. Elbows are flexed to approximately
    90 degrees. At the forward limit of the arm action, the hands are about level with the shoulder.
    At the backward limit of the arm action, the hands are level with hips or slightly behind.

    TRUNK: Slight forward lean. Rotation of the thorax, shoulders and head should be minimal.
    THE ACTIVITY
    Aim: To perform an analysis of the sporting action of running.

    Equipment: Video camera if available.

    Procedure: Observe the running action of one or more people and use the table
    below to analyse the movement pattern. If you have a mobile device available
    then record the subject's throwing action inside the apps mentioned in the
    resources section.

    If the video is not being used, the subject will throw enough times for adequate
    observation to take place and the table to be completed.
    Resources to assist with your analysis
    Video Analysis Apps

    These apps allow you to record your performance and then review using the
    inbuilt annotation, slow motion and drawing tools.

    Discussion :
    1. Discuss the relationship between stride length and stride frequency.
    2. Rate the subject(s) observed with a score out of 30.
    3. Which phase(s) of the skill do the performer/s require more practice with?
    Suggest possible reasons for this.
    4. List some sports or physical activities where the ability to run well
    is important.
