Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain running as locomotion, sport and exercise, relay biomechanics, training and health effects from sports science sources, describe disciplines and traditions, and distinguish running from walking, jogging as a pace and specific race events.

A gait of terrestrial locomotion in which all feet leave the ground in each stride, used by humans for exercise, sport and transport, from sprinting on the track through middle and long distance to marathon running, with mass events, national traditions such as the Kenyan running industry, historical forms such as the foot races of the ancient Olympic Games and cultural events such as Japan s Imperial Palace run; running is one of the most popular forms of physical exercise and is studied in physiology and biomechanics.

What it is for: Locomotion, exercise and sport.

It can be explain biomechanics; relay training and health; describe disciplines and traditions; distinguish related activities.

Distinguishing features

Airborne phase

Endurance and speed forms

Popular exercise

Global sport

What it looks like

A person moving with an airborne phase in each stride.

Physical character

marathon distance: 42.195 km

100 m world record: under 9.6 seconds - men

recreational runners worldwide: hundreds of millions count - estimates

How it is recognised

Gait with an airborne phase

Sprinting, middle and long distance, marathon running, track running, Kenyan running, ancient Olympic foot races, Imperial Palace run

Walking keeps one foot on the ground; jogging is slow running; a race is an organised event

What the second pass must settle

  • Should marathon, sprinting and track running be separate primary entries?
  • How should sports science sources be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming disciplines, events and a national industry; should they be split off?
