The Five Elemental Energies and their cycles provide a practical working model through which the interrelationships between the human body and the natural environment may be understood and controlled. The traditional Chinese view of human physiology differs significantly from the Western view in that the Chinese have always focused attention on the function rather than the form of the vital organs. Over the ages, Chinese physicians discovered two fundamental principles which govern the vital organs and regulate their functional relationships. In the Chinese system, everything ultimately boils down to energy, a view which modern Western physics is beginning to verify. The below chart illustrates where the meridians begin and end on the surface of the body, not showing the exact paths they take.

[Exercise, Diet and Fitness - fitFAQs.co.uk] The term Running Gait is a term that new and experienced runners are becoming more familiar with and are beginning to realise how important it is to choose trainers that best match the way you run. Incorrect shoes for your gait can lead to a number of injuries from ankle pain to hip pain. These injuries are discussed in more detail in the injury section of fitFAQS Your running gait, put simply, is the way in which you run. Imagine the way a car is set up. If the set up is incorrect or out of kilter, the tyres (your trainers) can wear unevenly and place stress on the axle (your legs). By choosing the right shoes, you can redress the imbalance and greatly reduce the risk of contracting a "biomechanical" injury.
