AGING AND WALKING ENERGETICS

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。这项研究的目的是了解衰老对运动能量学的影响。我们将测量身体在使用代谢能量方面的效率以及肌肉在倾斜行走时的表现。此外，我们还将测量左右稳定如何影响行走过程中的能量消耗、腿部运动以及腿部肌肉的行为。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this research is to understand the effects of aging on the energetics of locomotion. We will be measuring how efficient the body is at using metabolic energy and how the muscles behave inclined walking. In addition, we will be measuring how side-to-side stabilization affects the amount of energy used, the movements of the legs, and the behavior of leg muscles during walking.
