The consistency of maximum running speed measurements in humans using a feedback-controlled treadmill, and a comparison with maximum attainable speed during overground locomotion.

Consistent measurement of maximum running speed overground is problematic due to the difficulty in precise, continual measurement of speed, and the substantial workload in accelerating the body promoting the onset of fatigue. Treadmills remove the requirement for acceleration which enables more repe...
