Effects of Varying Warmup Stimuli on Running Economy
… the effects of two potentiating warm-up stimuli (weighted-vest strides and plyometrics) on running economy (RE) over short (5-10 minutes) and longer durations (30+ minutes) of exercise in trained distance runners. <strong>Methods</strong>: Five recreationally trained male runners were recruited to …

Measuring The Effect Of Weighted Devices On Exercise Enjoyment
… protocol that included exercises while wearing a weighted device (vest or shorts) or using regular conventional exercise equipment (dumbbells). Participants completed the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) after each condition. Three, paired-sampled t-tests with the Bonferroni Correction …

Autonomous powered exoskeleton to improve the efficiency of human walking
… the metabolic cost of walking with a 23 kg weighted vest by 8 ± 3% (p = 0.012). A biomechanical study revealed that the powered ankle exoskeleton does not simply replace ankle function, but augments the biological ankle while assisting the knee and hip. Use of the powered ankle exoskeleton …
