Abstract

The number of persons regularly devoting a significant fraction of their leisure time to physical exercise has vastly increased in the last decades, as has the knowledge of the basic physiologic mechanisms underlying human motion. The time seemed therefore ripe, for practical and theoretical reasons, to summarize our present ideas on the energetics of human locomotion on land and in water. The aim of this article is that of subsuming under a coherent picture the large collection of data dealing with human locomotion, rather than that of providing an extensive review of the literature.
