Energy Expenditure through Walking: Meta Analysis on Gender and Age

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to argue that, in the case of human gait, the (Energy Expenditure) is only minimized to more qualified walking in different gender and ages. This paper defines EE,walking gait and the impact of gender and age on EE. While there is no significant difference in EE of walking for both gender, in different ages EE of walking could be minimized by stride length, step length and wide step which affect selected speed of walking. Ideally, it will promote greater understanding of the relationship between EE, walking and health.
