| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, first, we clarified the characteristics of human running by analyzing running motions of athletes. A mathematical model of human running was constructed by assumptions based on the characteristics. Secondly, principles of generation and stabilization of periodic motion in human running are demonstrated by the analysis of the model. The principles are simple: a stable fixed point is generated by keeping the postural angle of the forelegs in grounding .Moreover, we obtained an interesting knowledge that "transfer efficiency can improve when the posture angle of the front leg in grounding is closer to vertical. ". The knowledge was demonstrated by experiments of a simple model of running. Finally, we developed a running assist suit based on the knowledge of human running. And, the running assist suit was evaluated by transfer efficiency (heart rate).
