Two types of receptors that is the phasic receptors and the tonic receptors are used during running that keeps the body aware of the psychic of the body during each phase of the running.The phasic receptors include the rapidly adapting paccinian corpuscles which keeps the body aware of the instantaneous physical changes and the tonic receptors include the muscle spindles and the joint capsules which keep the psychic aware of the muscle tension and the stability of the joints.
