Muscle Metabolic Energy Costs While Modifying Propulsive Force Generation During Walking
R. E. Pimentel, N. L. Pieper, W. H. Clark, J. R. Franz
The paper investigates how reducing propulsive force during walking increases metabolic cost by redistributing joint power from ankle to hip muscles in young adults, supporting the hypothesis that this mechanism contributes to age-related walking inefficiency.
