Journal ArticleDOI
Load carriage using packs: a review of physiological, biomechanical and medical aspects
TL;DR: The biomedical aspects of transporting loads in packs are reviewed and suggestions for improving load-carriage capability are offered and closed-cell neoprene insoles and use of an acrylic or nylon sock, combined with a wool sock, reduce blister incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of different loads and carrying systems on selected biomechanical parameters describing walking gait
TL;DR: The effects of two different systems on selected biomechanical parameters of walking gait, while carrying loads of varying magnitude, were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of load and speed on the energetic cost of human walking
TL;DR: The results show that the mass-specific gross metabolic power increases curvilinearly with speed and is directly proportional to the load at any speed, which suggests a load up to 1/4 Mb seems appropriate for long-distance walks.

Energetic Cost and Preferred Speed of Walking in Obese vs. Normal Weight Women
Raymond C. Browning,Rodger Kram +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that walking slower for a set distance may be an appropriate exercise recommendation for a weight management prescription in obese adults.

The energy cost of walking or running on sand.
TL;DR: The energy cost of locomotion per unit of distance (C) was calculated from the ratio of $$\dot V$$ O2 to speed and expressed in J · kg−1 · m−1 assuming an energy equivalent of 20.9 J · ml O2−1 at the highest speeds and found that, when walking on sand,C increased linearly with speed, while running on sand was found to be about 1.8 times greater on sand than on compact terrain.
