The word gait has appeared in 68 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Dec. 21 in “A Winter Workout That Can Take You Somewhere Stunning” by Amanda Loudin:
While at C.S.U., Mr. Browning was an author on a study into the biomechanics of walking with snowshoes; it revealed that snowshoeing required more bend from the ankles, hips and knees than overland walking. This calls for a greater range of motion, which over time can improve the mobility of your lower limbs, he said.
Nicholas Tiller, a senior researcher in exercise physiology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said that snowshoeing requires an adjustment in gait, which pays off in fitness gains.
