What is correct for a normal Running Gait cycle ?

This question was previously asked in
CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Two double float subphases of 5% each

Running Gait Cycle Characteristics

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.

Analyzing Gait Cycle Options

Evaluating the options based on running biomechanics:

  • Option 1: Two double float subphases of 5% each

    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.

  • Option 2: One double float subphase of 20%

    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.

  • Option 3: Two double support subphases of 11% each

    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.

  • Option 4: One Stance phase of 65% of gait cycle

    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.

Conclusion on Running Gait

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.
