Humans running in place on water at simulated reduced gravity.
<h4>Background</h4>On Earth only a few legged species, such as water strider insects, some aquatic birds and lizards, can run on water. For most other species, including humans, this is precluded by body size and proportions, lack of appropriate appendages, and limited muscle power. Howe...
