摘要

The mediolateral distance between both heels at first contact is known as step width, defined as a frontal plane spatial variable. Short-term variations in step width during walking and running may impact the lower-limb biomechanics in all three planes. Considering these features, the proposed dataset of this study was established on 13 healthy young males aged between 20 and 24 years within the normal BMI range, providing data in raw ready for use for the community. In laboratory conditions, participants were required to locomote (walk and run) at six different step widths while walking at a preferred speed, running at 3.0 m/s, and running at 3.7 m/s. This dataset could expand the population sample size of similar relevant datasets and provide the data basis for future exploring on the effect of acute step width changes on the kinematic and kinetic chain in human lower at different movement speeds.
