Can I read Heavily loaded walking on steep paths in hypoxia: the power and economy of Nepalese porters on EtoBox?
Heavily loaded walking on steep paths in hypoxia: the power and economy of Nepalese porters by A.E. Minetti; L.P. Ardigó; F. Formenti is a Medicine article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Heavily loaded walking on steep paths in hypoxia: the power and economy of Nepalese porters about?
Was used an empirical equation relating metabolic power with muscular force and speed (Minetti and Alexander, 1997). Our model predicts qualitatively the pattern of mass specific metabolic rate variations with speed and body mass (Taylor et al., 1982) and the linear inverse relationship between metabolic rate and the time of foot contact (Kram and Taylor, 1990). It provides an explanation of the energy saving on macropodids (Dawson and Taylor, 1973). The model could provide theoretical understanding on energetic cost changes with gravity, loads or inclines, topics already studied experimentally by other authors.
