Experimental Evidence for the Independent Modulation of Step Frequency and Duty Factor during Endurance Running
These findings provide the first direct experimental evidence that SF and DF can be modulated independently within a functional range, partly confirming the dual-axis model. Practically, SF and DF represent distinct levers for modifying running mechanics, offering clinicians and coaches flexible strategies for performance optimization.
