The child started at the bottom of the stairs, and was instructed to walk up the stairs as fast as possible, without running, and with alternating feet if possible (if not: step with both feet on the same step), then turn round on the platform and walk down the stairs, with alternating feet if possible (if not: step with both feet on the same step).
I move constantly, squatting, rocking, alternating feet.
Continue alternating feet.
The balance exercises will be included in a circuit protocol with different motor, sensory and cognitive tasks such as semi-tandem and tandem stance, stepping onto a block with alternate feet as quickly as possible, stepping and walking in different directions and at different velocities, negotiating obstacles and different surfaces, reaching for objects and making turns while walking.
You might think this word simply means "to go with quick steps on alternate feet, never having both or (in the case of many animals) all feet on the ground at the same time".
Alternate feet as you walk forward.
Hold for 15 seconds then alternate feet.
Alternate feet quickly to build speed.
The physiological profile included resting heart rate, blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate and arterial oxygen saturations (right index finger), repeated (with the exception of BP) after a standardised two minute step exercise challenge (CXE step test: 20 cm step, firm base, alternate feet sequentially, 1 step up or down per second by electronic metronome).
On occasion, it can be seen stomping the ground with alternating hits of the left and right front feet.
