Effect of music programming on walking velocity
(1999-12) -
The effects of the Cross Walk's resistive arm poles on the metabolic costs of treadmill walking
(1994)The recently developed CROSS WALKR exercise treadmill incorporates resistive arm poles designed to increase the metabolic costs associated with walking. Twenty-nine healthy men (mean age, 24.2 yr) were recruited to study ... -
The effects of twelve weeks of walking or exerstriding on upper body muscular strength and endurance
(1992)This study determined potential changes in upper body muscular strength and endurance as a result of walking with the use of specially designed walking poles (Exerstriders). Ninety-two inactive females, 20-49 yrs, ... -
The energy cost of horizontal speedwalking in males, 20 to 40 years of age
(1987)The primary question to be answered in this study was: what is the energy cost of horizontal speedwalking in males, 20 to 40 years of age? -
Energy cost of walking with and without arm activity on the Cross Walk dual motion cross trainer
(1993)The CROSS WALK Dual Motion Cross Trainer (CROSS WALK) (Proform, Logan, UT) is a motorized treadmill designed to increase the energy cost of walking by incorporating arm activity during walking, thus increasing the muscle ... -
The energy cost of women walking with and without hand weights while performing rhythmic arm movements
(1992)Sixteen female Ss (30-59 yrs) volunteered to walk at 3.0 mph, normal walk (NW), while performing arm movements to the shoulder level of excursion (SLE) and head level of excursion (HLE), with no weight (0-), 1 lb (I-), ... -
Physiological responses of healthy adults to walking with a powerbelt
(2000-12)The purpose of this study was to provide descriptive data on the physiological responses to walking at a self-selected pace with and without a Powerbelt. In random order, ten male (age = 22 + 0.9 yr, ht = 178 4 5.8 cm, ... -
The physiological responses to walking with and without Power Poles on treadmill exercise
(1993)Power poles are specially constructed, rubber-tipped ski poles designed for use during walking. The user simulates the arm motion of cross-country skiing while walking, thus increasing the muscle mass used during exercise. ...
