Children and adults minimise activated muscle volume by selecting gait parameters that balance gross mechanical power and work demands
Terrestrial locomotion on legs is energetically expensive. Compared with cycling, or with locomotion in swimming or flying animals, walking and running are highly uneconomical. Legged gaits that minimise mechanical work have previously been identified and broadly match walking and running at appropr...
