Spring-mass model for running. The leg spring is compressed during the first half of the stance phase and rebounds during the second half. Maximal vertical displacement of the center of mass and leg spring compression during ground contact is represented by Δy and ΔL, respectively. Half of the angle swept by the leg spring during the ground contact is denoted by θ.
