The document discusses framing in the Pose Method for analyzing running technique using video. Framing involves counting the number of video frames where the foot is in contact with the ground compared to when it is in the air during each stride. In the Pose Method, only 4-6 frames of the typical 8-9 frame stride are counted. The document provides examples of frame counts from video clips, showing 2 frames of ground contact and 1-2 frames until the foot is pulled off the ground, indicating a 2:1.5 framing ratio. Proper framing can help identify efficient running form but is not necessary to prevent injury.

What is Framing in the Pose Method of teaching running technique?
I hope I’m not plagiarizing information here, but I think framing is using thirty frames-per-second
(30 fps) video to count ground contact time compared to air time. Equal ground to air time is ideal,
but not necessary to prevent injury. Each stride, or step from one foot to the other, takes close to a
third of a second and uses eight or nine video frames, but in Pose Method frame counting, only 4-6 frames
are used.
Here's how it's done...
This is a slow jog shot Aug 11, 2009. The entire video may be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgwNAnMtYdY
Parts of the video may be found at the beginning of each series of stills below:

2. Frame Count A
This series of stills can be
found in a short 30 fps
video clip here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXwOQ7EEOVU Still in the air…
…foot is not yet flat here…
W aiting to begin the count...
Waiting to begin the count...
…Touchdown… …1 frame on the ground… …2nd frame is Pose stance
Not counted Count 1 frame after ...count 2 frames from
touchdown... touchdown to stance.

3. 2 frames to Pose stance and
1-2 frames until the foot is
Pulled
2:1.5 framing?
2:2 framing?
…and foot is pulling
2 Heel is up, but can we call 2 frames
it a pull?
This frame makes 2 frames
from stance to a pull (lifted
Count 1 frame from stance heel)
Frame Count B

4. Touchdown 1 Frame… …and Pose stance on the 2nd
1st frame from stance to pull… 2nd frame & ankle is off For reference only.
This stride is virtually
identical to the one
immediately before it:
2 frames to Pose stance and
1-2 frames until the foot is
Pulled

5. Again,
2:1.5 framing?
2:2 framing?
