Apple watch emergency feature sensitivity problem

My Apple watch seems to I've the notification that "It looks as though you've taken a hard fall." The problem is I haven't. I can clap my hands or pumping my arms while I am running in place. This is really aggravating and worrisome as I am pretty active. Is there something I can do to turn the sensitivity down? I changed to Apple watch for the fall detection, but this is worrisome.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 26
