Energy cost and lower leg muscle activities during erect bipedal locomotion under hyperoxia

Energy cost and lower leg muscle activities during erect bipedal locomotion under hyperoxia

Abstract Background Energy cost of transport per unit distance (CoT) against speed shows U-shaped fashion in walking and linear fashion in running, indicating that there exists a specific walking speed minimizing the CoT, being defined as economical speed (ES). Another specific gait speed is the int...
