Abstract

Ten male subjects each walked at two speeds, 0·67 and 1·12 m s−1 (1·5 and 2·5 mph) on a level treadmill, and on a variety of snow depths. Energy expenditure increased linearly with increasing depth of footprint depression and was expressed, considering clothed weight, by the regression equation: energy expenditure (W kg−1 hor km−1 h−1) = 1·18 + 0·089 depression (cm). At 45 cm footprint depression as compared to a 0 cm depression, energy expenditure increased by a ratio of approximately 5 : 1. Although subjects were considered above average in terms of fitness [average [Vdot]O2max =51·4 ml kg−1 min−1 (n = 6)], all terminated walking due to exhaustion at an average footprint depth of 35·0 cm at a walking speed of 1·12m s−1. Practical limits for prolonged snow walking not exceeding approximately 50% [Vdot]O2max were developed with 20 cm being the maximal depth at 0·67 m s−1, and 10 cm at 1·12 m s−1 without snow shoes. At increased footprint depths, limiting factors for snow walking were the increasing lift work, inefficient stooping posture and balancing difficulty.

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.
