Six men each carried backpack loads of 32, 40 and 50 kg while walking at 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4 and 0.2 m/s, to extend the range of speed down to the standstill level. Metabolic cost of standing with O-, 10-, 30- or 50-kg backpacks was also investigated in 10 men to evaluate the energy expenditure of load carriage while standing. Energy expenditure increased with external load, both standing and walking. No increased inefficiency occurred with very slow walking; M [metabolic rate] decreased smoothly as speed approached. The revised predictive formula which now covers standing and the whole range of walking speeds, has the form M = 1.5W + 2.0(W + L)(L/W)2 + .nu.(W + L)[1.5V2 + 0.35VG] where M = metabolic rate, watts; W = subject weight, kg; L = load carried, kg; V = speed of walking, m/s, G = grade, %; n = terrain factor (.nu. = 1.0 for treadmill). The new formula extends the range of application, allows an adjustment for load as a function of body weight and permits easier calculation of energy expenditure.
