N2  - Classical dynamical principles are applied to a detailed inertial model of the human physique for the derivation of differential equations of motion governing the stride action in human walking. Functions characterizing the gait style which require specification to complete the formulation are discussed, as are the ground contact conditions which limit the considered action. The solution for the forward motion in a gait of particular style is determined. This is applied to the athletic event of race-walking to predict the maximum walking speed attainable in certain circumstances.<p />
