Abstract The Metabolic Cost of Walking (MCoW) is an important variable of daily life that has
been studied extensively. Several studies suggest that MCoW is higher in Older Adults (OA) …

The use of sport as a conceptual framework offers unprecedented opportunities to improve
our understanding of what the body does, shedding new light on our evolutionary trajectory …

Since about 80 years, human walking speed has been measured for different purposes. The
comparability of the results of these measurements is low, as the walking speed is …

The high energy cost of walking in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) contributes
significantly to reduced mobility and quality of life. The purpose of this paper was to develop …

Although the concept of central pattern generators (CPGs) controlling locomotion in
vertebrates is widely accepted, the presence of specialized CPGs in human locomotion is …

The functional roles of individual lower limb muscles during human walking may differ
depending on walking speed or duration. In this study, 11 volunteers walked on a treadmill …

The common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is a facultative biped and our closest living
relative. As such, the musculoskeletal anatomies of their pelvis and hind limbs have long …

Humans are unique among apes and other primates in the musculoskeletal design of their
lower back, pelvis, and lower limbs. Here, we describe the three-dimensional ground …

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products,
Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derived dietary reference values for energy, which are …

Physical inactivity increases risks of cardiovascular disease, poor mental health, and
morbidity. School-based physical activity (PA) promotion can reach children from differing …
