Graded Walking Energetics under Cold Strain
Route planners should recommend steeper but shorter routes to minimize M˙ in individuals that walk in temperate-to-cold environments. The LCDA metabolic model provides accurate M˙ predictions in lightly dressed individuals in temperatures down to 10°C, but users should expect underestimated M˙ in 0°C or colder.
