AGING AND WALKING ENERGETICS

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。本研究的目的是了解衰老对运动能量学的影响。我们将测量身体使用代谢能量的效率，以及倾斜行走时肌肉的表现。此外，我们将测量侧对侧稳定如何影响能量消耗、腿部运动和腿部肌肉在行走过程中的行为。

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.
