It is not just the work you do, but how you do it: the metabolic cost of walking uphill and downhill with varying grades
Abstract
We use a method for quantifying nonsteady-state energetics to show that regardless of whether the same total gain and loss in elevation (i.e., same total external mechanical work) is achieved over the same period of time, the total energy expenditure of different graded walking conditions can vary depending on the grades that are walked at and for how long they are walked at.

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.
