Stamina going down when not moving

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am currently trying to make a sprint and stamina system. So far the stamina bar tweens, and the whole sprinting mechanic pretty much works (I have used values to define a few things, so I can easily change it later if I want to).
There is one problem with it though. If I hold sprint, but am not moving, it still reduces my stamina.
Here is the code for reference (A LocalScript located in a Frame in a Frame in a ScreenGui in StarterGui):

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local S = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").StaminaSettings

local stamina = 100
local running = false

if stamina <= 0 then
	character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end

stamina = math.clamp(stamina, 0, 100)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		running = true
		character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = S.SprintSpeed.Value
		
		while stamina > 0 and running do
			stamina = stamina - S.StaminaDeductionAmount.Value
			script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(stamina/100, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Linear",0)
			wait()
			if stamina == 0 then
				character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
			end
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		running = false
		character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		while stamina < 100 and not running do
			stamina = stamina + S.StaminaRegenerationAmount.Value
			script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(stamina/100, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Linear",0)
			wait()
			if stamina == 0 then
				character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
			end
		end
	end
end)

Does anyone know the fix to my problem?

Check if you are moving by modifying the following line:

while stamina > 0 and running do

to

while stamina > 0 and running and humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.

It works now, thank you so much. I always forget about humanoid.MoveDirection
