Answer:
first class lever action
Explanation:
When you use the foot as a lever in walking
and running, the ankle is the pivot point and
the bones of the foot are the levers. When you
use the bones as levers in this way, they are
called first-class levers. First-class levers can
allow you to lift a heavy weight with a small amount of force. For example, first-class levers
allow you to lift your whole body weight with
the relatively small leg muscles.
A first-class lever also causes a change in the
direction of the force so that the muscles in the
back of your lower leg, which pull upward on
the back of your foot (your heel), make the
front of your foot (your toes) push downward
against the ground
