Walking Economy and Preferred Speed in Old and Very Old Men
The progressive increase in net CoW with age was associated with gait and neuromuscular impairments, particularly after the age of 80 yr. This increase in net CoW was related to a decrease in PWS in VOM, suggesting an adaptation of PWS to compensate for the increase in energy demand. Maintaining a high level of PA may potentially delay the age-related decline in PWS despite an age-related increase in net CoW.
