Metabolic cost of human hopping [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017 ABSTRACTTo interpret the movement strategies employed in locomotion, it is necessary to understand the source of metabolic cost. Muscles must consume metabolic energy to do work, but also must consume energy to generate force. The energy lost during steady locomotion and, hence, the amount of mechanical work muscles need to perform to replace it can be
