Characteristics of preferred walking patterns in young Qatari adults
( Qatar Foundation , 2016 , Conference Paper)Walking is the most natural and important activity of daily living as it refers to the primary type of terrestrial human locomotion. Analyses of gait patterns typically examine the speed and manner in which people prefer ... -
Characteristics of preferred gait patterns: considerations for exercise prescription - Chapter 7
( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2016 , Book chapter)Gait patterns have been widely studied in different fields of science for their particular characteristics. A dynamic approach of human locomotion considers walking and running as two stable behaviours adopted spontaneously ... -
Relationship between the heart rate and E/A ratio in athletic and non-athletic males in different ages
