Table 1.
Frequency of occurrence of fundamental synergies. Even though the factorization rank was not influenced by locomotion speed, not all the extracted synergies could be functionally classified as fundamental (i.e., not combined). This table reports the number of participants that showed the relevant fundamental synergies at each speed for both groups (G1 = walking and submaximal running, G2 = submaximal and maximal running).
| Group | Speed [m/s] | Synergy |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight acceptance | Propulsion | Early swing | Late swing | |||
| G1 (15 participants) | Walking | 0.7 | 10 | 15 | 13 | 6 |
