The Apollo Number: Space Suits, Self-Support, and the Walk-Run Transition
Background: How space suits affect the preferred walk-run transition is an open question with relevance to human biomechanics and planetary extravehicular activity. Walking and running energetics differ; in reduced gravity (,0.5 g), running, unlike on Earth, uses less energy per distance than walk...
