The gait cycle is the sequence of motions occurring between the first contact of the stance foot and the next initial contact of the same foot. For a normal Running Gait, specific phases and durations are characteristic, distinguishing it from walking.
Evaluating the options based on running biomechanics:
This option refers to two distinct subphases within the flight period, each lasting $5\%$. The total duration amounts to $10\%$. The "flight phase" is when neither foot is in contact with the ground, a key feature of running. This description, although using uncommon terminology ('double float'), points to this characteristic airborne period.
This suggests a single $20\%$ flight phase. While running involves flight, the description in Option 1, detailing two subphases, is presented as the correct breakdown.
Double support occurs when both feet are on the ground. This phase is prominent in walking but is typically absent or extremely brief in normal running gait.
The Stance phase is when the foot contacts the ground. In running, the stance phase is considerably shorter than the swing phase, usually lasting approximately $30\%$ to $40\%$ of the cycle. A $65\%$ stance phase is characteristic of walking.
Option 1 aligns best with the characteristics of a normal running gait by describing distinct subphases within the flight period. Options 3 and 4 describe features more typical of walking.
Morgenthau's principles of political realism are:
A. Politics is rooted in permanent and unchanging human nature which is basically self centred, self-regarding and self-interested
B. Politics is an autonomous sphere of action and cannot therefore be reduced to morals
C. International Politics is an arena of conflicting self-interests
D. The ethics of international relations is situational ethics which is very different from private morality
