Development of a simple mechanical model to evaluate running economy for designing running augmentation suits

Abstract This paper presents a simple mechanical model capable of evaluating a running effectiveness index $$\epsilon _{EI}$$ ϵ EI based on mechanical energy. We extended a spring-loaded inverted pendulum model, considering the biomechanical determinants of running economy (RE), to develop a simplif...
