Energetics of human activity

Abstract

Metabolic energy expenditure and accuracy in movement -relation to levels of muscle and cardiorespiratory activation and the sense of effort factors that have shaped human locomotor structure and behaviour - the joules in the crown movement proficiency -incorporating task demands and constraints in assessing human movement movement economy, preferred modes and pacing triggers for the transition between human walking and running learned changes in behavioural efficiency - the effects of concurrent and terminal exteroceptive feedback of response success mechanical power and work in human movement optimisation in the learning of cyclical actions dynamic and thermodynamic constraints and the metabolic cost of locomotion.
