Methods for Estimating the Metabolic Cost of Walking |
摘要 |
Methods for determining the metabolic cost for walking are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for determining metabolic cost per unit time of a walk by an individual is disclosed. The method includes providing a body length of the individual. The method also includes measuring a walking speed of the individual. The metabolic cost per unit time is determined by adding a basal metabolic rate and a metabolic constant for walking to the result of a metabolic coefficient for walking multiplied by the walking speed (squared) and such squared speed divided by the body length of the individual.
