From: Adding Stiffness to the Foot Modulates Soleus Force-Velocity Behaviour during Human Walking
Whole-body net metabolic power was increased at the greatest added foot stiffness.
Net metabolic power was quantified using indirect calorimetry (N = 20, mean ± s.e.m). P-value indicate the main effect of added foot stiffness. At the greatest added foot stiffness (ΔK = 65.6 N/mm), the net metabolic power was greater than each of the other conditions (denoted by**).
