The scaling or ontogeny of human gait kinetics and walk-run transition: The implications of work vs. peak power minimization

A simple model is developed to find vertical force profiles and stance durations that minimize either limb mechanical work or peak power demands during bipedal locomotion. The model predicts that work minimization is achieved with a symmetrical vertical force profile, consistent with previous models...
