Outline of Final Research Achievements

We recruited female runway models and non-models and obtained motion capture data during walking under "normal" and "self-attractive conscious" conditions. We investigated the biomechanical information which transmits the attractiveness of walking motion.
When non-models were conscious of their own attractiveness during walking, whole body movements were changed; their knees were extended and trunk segments were bending backward. Walking movement of runway models was the exaggeration of such biomechanical features of non-models during self-attractive conscious condition. These results suggest that walking patterns of runway models, which was created for fashion business, could be the exaggerated walking motion of biologically attractive human walking movement.
