Is there an approximation of what a human would look like walking on Mars? Would it be closer to how the astronauts walked on the moon or the way we walk on the Earth?

With the gravitational acceleration of Earth being 9.8 m/s2, the moon 1.625 m/s2, and Mars 3.71 m/s2, about one-third that of the Earth and a little more than twice that of the moon, it would seem to me a person's gait on Mars would be a lot closer to that of the moon than the Earth.
