Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move rapidly on foot. Running is a type of gait characterized by an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions). 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. A feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity. The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting. Running in humans is associated with improved health and life expectancy. Regular aerobic exercise, such as running, has been resoundingly endorsed by global research as a critical component of a healthy lifestyle. Which means, if you are a runner, you’re truly on track with staying healthy, in shape and relieving stress. In fact, regular running has the potential to affect a whole range of functions within your different organs. Let's list some of the benefits:
