The full term is "rigor mortis" which means a stiffening of the muscles which usually occurs 2 to 4 hours after death.
This will occur faster if running than if standing still because the heart and lungs together will increase oxygen levels in the blood providing the oxidation necessary for this to occur

Rigor means stiff.
You know when dead people become really stiff and tight?
I would say, lying still, rigor would set in faster.
The reason being, your blood's not pumping as fast if, compared to when you're running and your heart rate is up.

Well you wrote like sentences but you forgot to ask what part you dont understand.
Puits que vous avez écrit comme des phrases mais vous avez oublié de demander quelle partie vous ne comprenez pas.
