From: Reduced vertical displacement of the center of mass is not accompanied by reduced oxygen uptake during walking

  1. Stride characteristics (mean ± SD) during curved and flat treadmill walking at 0.67 m/s, 1.12 m/s and 1.56 m/s.
  2. ST: stride time, CT: contact time, SWT: swing time, a: significantly different compared to 0.67 m/s on the same treadmill, b: significantly different compared to 1.12 m/s on the same treadmill, c: significantly different from the curved treadmill at the same walking speed.
