I learned that gerund cant put immediately after the "during

" . But, so many research papers in sports express "during running", "during walking" and so on. Are these expressions gramatically correct?

    It's true. To talk about something you do during the act of running of walking you can use "when I run/ when running" for the same idea when I run I always wear my blue running shies. when running you should always stay hydrated.

    You could also use "while running/walking"

    @Michael I understand. So, is this research title incorrect? "Muscle contributions to propulsion and support during running"

    @Slow i think its used often enough that people understand and read it as intended. But there are many cases of common grammatical errors like that becoming the norm. During normally required a time to make sense, and using a gerund doesnt accurately convey time. "during the running of the second race" makes sense, but for your title while running is best.
