Abstrakt: Presents a study that compared the metabolic cost of walking at constant speed with the one observed when different speed changes are imposed. Assessment of the metabolic expenditure via an automatic oxygen consumption analyzer; Invariance of the metabolic cost of walking with respect to the different speed oscillation; Explanation for the lack of evident dependency on the speed oscillation range.
