What is Backpack Weight Effects on Biomechanics about?
This report analyzes the effects of varying backpack weights (6, 20, 33, and 44 kg) on the biomechanics of gait in 16 male volunteers. Key findings indicate that heavier loads increase stride frequency and knee range of motion while affecting muscle activity, particularly in the knee and hip regions, to maintain stability and control. Recommendations include designing backpacks that distribute weight to the hips and incorporating specific exercises to enhance load carriage performance.
