Abstract
INTRODUCTION Self paced “brisk” walking is often prescribed to increase physical activity levels because this exercise is thought to be low-impact with little risk of injury. However the recommended speed is largely based on data from normal weight individuals gathered in laboratories rather than walking outside where most Australians exercise. As little is known about the biomechanics of obese people when walking for exercise, the aim was to investigate the temporospatial gait parameters and energy expenditure in obese individuals in comparison to normal weight individuals when walking at self selected pace.
