The metabolic cost of walking in healthy young and older adults - a systematic review and meta analysis

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
This literature review and meta-analyses show that there is a statistically significant elevation in Metabolic Cost of Walking (MCoW) between healthy young and elderly for both gross (12%) and net costs (17%) of walking. However this elevation is possibly confounded by an interaction between age and the task novelty of walking on a treadmill.
