THERE IS A DIFFERENT LEG SLANT FOR EACH PACE
A slanted object animate or inanimate cannot stand still in a gravity environment. Everyone has seen that to be true. What they haven’t surmised is that people and animals can’t stand still when they are standing on a slanted leg(s) where the foot or feet are not centered under their bodies. Standing off center is the only way for people and animals to walk and run.
Scientists were confused by seeing the leg changing slants while standing in one spot. What they couldn’t figure out is that the leg slants less behind than it does to the front. That relationship amounts to an average forward slant of the leg, so the person is standing off balance and moving forward. The lift or jump changes the forward fall to a forward rise.
During the standing time or stance phase there is a slowdown phase and a speedup phase. The leg slanting behind the upper body’s center and swing to vertical is the slowdown phase. The leg swing from vertical to a forward slant is the speedup phase. The speedup phase makes up for the speed lost in the slowdown phase to amount to and steady pace.
Starting to run, goes from zero to ten when you level off at a steady pace of ten miles per hour. To increase speed exponentially with each step to reach your pace the stance time does not have a slowdown phase. The leg starts at a slant behind the body and travels farther behind during the stance phase.
