Abstract

In the past, a mathematical equation to predict the metabolic cost of standing or walking (Mw) was developed. However, this equation was limited to speeds less than 2.2 m.s-1 and overestimated the metabolic cost of walking or running at higher speeds. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to develop a mathematical model for the metabolic cost of running (Mr), in order to be able to predict the metabolic cost under a wide range of speeds, external loads and grades. Twelve male subjects were tested on a level treadmill under different combinations of speed and external load. Speed varied between 2.2 to 3.2 m.s-1 using 0.2 m.s-1 intervals and external loads between 0-30 kg with 10 kg intervals. Four of the subjects were also tested at 2 and 4% incline while speed and load remained constant (2.4 m.s-1, 20 kg). The model developed is based on Mw and is proportionately linear with external load (L) carried as follows: Mr = Mw-0.5 (1-0.01L)(Mw -15L-850), (watt) The correlation coefficient between predicted and observed values was 0.99 (P less than 0.01) with SER of 7.7%. The accuracy of the model was validated by its ability to predict the metabolic cost of running under different conditions extracted from the literature. A highly significant correlation (r = 0.95, P less than 0.02, SER = 6.5%) was found between our predicted and the reported values. In conclusion, the new equation permits accurate calculation of energy cost of running under a large range of speeds, external loa…

  • Forecasts of the energy cost of Pandolf's formula were verified by test phases on individuals of different age and sex by varying speed and load carried.

    “Forecasts of the energy cost of this formula were able to be verified by several test phases on individuals from different classes of age and sex (Epstein et al. 1987;Pandolf et al. 1976Pandolf et al. , 1977) ) by varying the speed and the load carried.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
