"Lego Walker Disarms Assumptions About Human Gait"

Feb 10, 2009 09:09

Try walking or running without swinging your arms. It may feel weird, but a new study finds that arms contribute nothing to the human gait.

Contrary to popular belief, decades-old research and legions of power walkers, arm swings are a reflexive response to leg movement. ( New Scientist )
I didn't realize there was a popular belief that arms contribute to the human gait. Must have been all that circle walking.

Namaste
