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) …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether net metabolic cost of walking is
affected by age per se. Methods We selected 10 healthy, active older adults (mean age 75 …

This study aimed to determine which physiological factors impact net efficiency (ηnet) in
oldest‐old individuals at different stages of skeletal muscle disuse. To this aim, we examined …

Objectives Mobility is a complex but crucial clinical outcome in older adults. Past
observational studies have highlighted that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), energy cost of …

Muscular efficiency during exercise has been used to interrogate aspects of human muscle
energetics, including mitochondrial coupling and biomechanical efficiencies. Typically …

2S-Hesperidin is a flavanone (flavonoid) found in high concentrations in citrus fruits. It has
an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, improving performance in animals. This study …

While there is no cure for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), its progressive
nature and the formidable challenge to manage its symptoms warrant a more extensive …

We detail key considerations for the development of extreme heat policies in sport and
exercise. Policies should account for the four environmental parameters (ambient …

Purpose: Aging deteriorates metabolic flexibility (MF). Moreover, recent studies show that
glycolysis is barely increased despite impoverished lipid metabolism, in addition to …

Purpose To investigate whether the elevation in metabolic cost of walking on treadmills
compared to overground for healthy elderly is related to self-reported anxiety and if changes …
