Walking

What does walking actually mean? A good indicator when making decisions on walking or not walking is the body position of the player. When adopting a gait akin to the speed walking technique a player is more upright and maintains a steady head position but when jogging the body position is leaning forward, the knees are bent, and the head moves up and down through the movement.

Speed Walking Definition: This differs from running in that it requires the player to maintain contact with the ground at all times and requires the leading leg to be straightened as the foot makes contact with the ground. It must remain straightened until the leg passes under the body.
