ENGY COST OF TKEADMILT. WALKING COMPARED TO ROAD WALKING

Abstract: A comparison has been made between subjects walking at 3-1/2mph on the treadmill and walking over roads and cinder tracks at the samespeed. It has been found that the road or cinder track condition involvesan average energy expenditure nine to ten percent greater than that forthe treadmill. This is believed to be caused by a difference in the bodymechanics while walking under these two different conditions. This dif-ference must be taken into account in extrapolating climatic chamber andother treadmill data to field conditions.

Foreword: The physiologic response to a standard work task is a wellaccepted and widely used index for estimating a) the ability of man toperform physical work, and b) the degree of deterioration resultingfrom exposure to stresc situations. Miniature work tasks and the motordriven treadmill are the most commonly used methods of presenting astandard work task. The ultimate goal of such research is to estimate,from data derived under controlled laboratory conditions, the degree ofchanges that may be expected to occur under naturally occurring con-ditions of work and exposure to stress. In order to apply the resultsfrom controlled laboratory experiments to natural situations it mustbe either assumed or proved that the r ' sonses of man are the same inthe two instances. This sixth report in the series on the Physiologyof Load-Carrying presents the basic data for comparison of one type ofwork task walking outdoors on a hard surfaced road with walking on amotor-driven treadmill in the laboratory.

EIERGY COST OF TREAEILL WALKING COMPARED TO ROAD WALKNIG

1. Introduction

a. The motQr-driven treadmill provides a convenient, accurate,and consistent means for producing various levels of physical activity.It is a means of exercise which, in effect, contains a built-in correctionfor differences in body size, since the work required of the test subjectis proportional to his own weight. It is a form of exercise which iseasily mastered, and since most subjects are in relatively good physicalcondition for walking they do not require extensive conditioning beforestudies are carried out. The treadmill, by allowing locomotion in onespot, permits exercisa within the confines of climatic chambers or otherindoor test rooms. Because the subject remains in one place, instru-mentation can be connected to him for recording such physiologicalvariables as pulse rate and respiratory rate; and expired air can easilybe collected for determination of metabolic rate. As is evident in thisreport, the control of speed and the maintenance of constant speed areimportant considerations in employing a treadmill rather than an outdoorform of exercise in studies involving physical work.

b . Some of the parameters of response to treadmill walking, in-cluding the training factor, have been studied and discussed by Erickson,et al. o

c. - Some of the early treadmills used for studies of locomotionconsisted of a belt moving over a series of rollerso4 More recenttreadmills have had a leather or fabric belt moving over a hardwoodslipvay. The slipway apparently requires less training and providesbetter stability during walking. 5

,8

d. Nany of the classic studies on the energy cost of walking atdifferent speeds and with different loads were conducted on treadmills 2,3In one of these extensive studies, Smith1 1 commented that differencespresumably existed between treadmill walking and ordinary walking.His additional comment on the subject is appreciated by the presentauthors, "the problem of the difference in effect of walking in the openair as compared to walking on a treadmill in a well-ventilated room canonly be solved by the use of impeccable technique." Smith mentionedthat Durig had found treadmill walking to be more eceoomical than for-ward walking; however, Duig-'s reports4,5 appear to indicate that histreadmill (belt over rollers) requirod a higher energy expenditure thanroad walking. Atzler and Herbst report a comparison of treadmillwith road walking using one subject and concluded that the treadmillwas about 1.2 percent higher than the road. Two readings were takenin each situation, one of the open road readings at a considerably lowervalue than the other three.

e. In the course of studies on load-carrying conducted at thisLaboratory, we have compared a group of subjects carrying a 46-poundload at 3-i/2 mph on a treadmill with the same group carrying the sameload and wearirg the same clothing while walking over a lc ±, asphaltroad out of d'.ors. An additional group of subjects were compared whilewearing eight-pound nylon vest armor on the treadmill and on a cindertrack.

2. Methods

a. Metabolic rate during walking on the treadmill was measuredwith a closed system Tissot spirometer supplying pure oxygen and havingsoda lime to reabsorb carbon dioxide. The studies conducted in thefield were done by the Douglas Bag method, the volume of expired air inthe Douglas Bag was measured with a dry gas meter, and the air analyzedfor oxygen and carbon dioxide by the Ealdane method. A systematic com-parison, using two subjects, was made between the closed system Tissotspirometer and the open system Douglas Bag method to assure the equiva-lence of these methods in this Laboratory. While the subject walked onthe treadmill the mouthpiece was first connected to the closed system,then the Douglas Bag, then the closed system again in continuity. Bythis means two closed system readings were obtained which immediately

bracketed the open system collection.

b. The treadmill studies were carried, out at a room temperatureof 190c (660F.). The outdoor stadies were conducted on sunny days inNovember 1951, with air temperatures from -4o to 100C. (250 to 500 F.)

Co The outdoor walking course was a "black-top" road. The sub-jects walked over 2400 feet of surface which was apparently level (lessthan 1/8 percent grade by clinometer), 600 feet of a two percent grade,and 2400 feet of a i/4 percent grade. The Douglas Bag collections weremade on the level stretch, the direction of travel being alternated.

d. The speed of the treadmill was calculated by measurement ofthe belt length and counting revolutions. In the outdoor portion ofthe study, speed was controlled in the following manner. markers wereplaced at 800-foot intervals; an observer practiced pacing these in-tervals at 3-1/2 mph (93.48 meters/minute). This investigator thenpaced the subjects, his time being checked by another observer with astop clock. The exact time required to walk 800 feet at 3-1/2 mphwas 2 minutes and 35.8 seconds. If the subjects failed to completethe 800 feet within 2 minutes 35 seconds and 2 uinutes 37 seconds, theruA was discardedo With practice and constant time checks, the pacingof this procedure became quite consistent and accurate.

e. In both indoor and outdoor studies the subjects wore cottonshorts, T-shirts, and herringbone twill fatigue uniforms. Footwearconsisted of one pair each of cushion sole socks and leather combat

'boots. In the comparison of the treadmill with walking on the hard-surfaced road, a load of 46 pounds consisting of a packboard with ahigh placed gravel load in metal cans and steel oxygen cylinder wereused.

f. In a further study, four subjects walked indoors on a tread-mill with a belt speed of 3-1/2 mph and outdoors on a cinder track atthe same speed. In addition to herringbone twill fatigue uniforms andleather combat boots, the subjects wore eight-pound nylon vest armor.

This second group of subjects did not carry pack loads.

g. The physical characteristics of the subjects used in thesetwo studies are given in Table I.

a. A comparison of metabolic rate determinations by the closedsystem Tissot spirometer and the Douglas Bag and Haldane methods isgiven in Table II. Since no statistically significant systematicerror between the two methods was found, comparison of data collectedby the two different methods appeared justifiable.

4. Discussion

a. It may be argued that the difference between load-carryingon a horizontal treadmill and on a road surface resulted from small ir-regularities o:f road surfa*e as compared to the belt moving over thesmooth wooden slipway. The asphalt road had very few loose pebblesand very little gross unevenness. Ideally, this comparison should bemade between a subject walking on a moving treadmill and also on thesame treadmill belt over a solid wooden floor of the same elasticproperties as the bed of the treadmill. Despite these limitations,it is the consensus of the authors, based on their findings in thisreport and general observation of subjects walking on treadmills,that there is a distinct difference in the body m*echanics of tread-mill walking and of walking under normal conditions.

b. On i~spection, it appears that treadmill walking includessome features which may explain the lesser energy cost when comparedto road walking. These are only speculative until further studieshave been conducted. With treadmill walking the center of gravityof the body, instead of progressing forward in a series of arcs ofrise and fall in relation to the surface of the ground, oscillatesback and forth in an arc over a fixed distance. It is suggested thatby this means there is recovery of kinetic energy from the oscillatingextremities on a larger scale than in ordinary walking and that lessextra force from the ground for forward motion of the center ofgravity, as described by Elftmann, 6,7 is required. When observing asubject walking on a treadmill one is struck with the somewhat slappinggait, and the amount of vertical rise of the body. It is conceivablethat some of the energy used in the vertical rise is derived from themotion of the treadmill. The subject slaps his foot down in the for-ward position, locks his knee, ,aMd, as his foot is carried backward bythe treadmill, there is a vertical component to the resultant force.Part of the energy elevating the body may therefore be derived fromthe power of the motor which moves the treadmill belt.

c. MullerlO studied the efficiency of treadmill walking anddetermined a value for the energy requirement of forward progressionby applying forward and backward pull at the hips. He found minimalexpenditure at about three to four kilograms of forward pull. Hefurther observed that forward pull in excess of this amount up toseven kilograms did not lead to an increased energy requirement forbraking. This was explained by the fact that the subjects compen-sated for the forward pull by leaning backward. It is of interestin this connertion that some men may be observed to lean somewhatbackward and "ride" the treadmill. This suggests that anotherfeature of the body mechanics which differs in treadmill and ordinarywalking may be that the treadmill contributes energy for the rota-tion of the body about the center of gravity in its transverse axis,applying a torque in a clockwise direction as viewed from the sub-. l right. This would be similar to the contribution to vertical
