Why do we transition from walking to running? Energy cost and lower leg muscle activity before and after gait transition under body weight support

Background Minimization of the energetic cost of transport (CoT) has been suggested for the walk-run transition in human locomotion. More recent literature argues that lower leg muscle activities are the potential triggers of the walk-run transition. We examined both metabolic and muscular aspects f...
