Two pedestrian movements, walking and jogging, and three rhythmic exercises, jumping, stride jumps and running-on-the-spot, were studied. Load factors for the first four harmonics of the footstep rate were obtained for groups of one, two and four people. For jumping, load factors for eight people were also measured. ER -
