Full description
Individual biomechanical and energetic data from twelve healthy participants who walked and ran on a treadmill in two different conditions - 1) as normally as possible and 2) with a tibial nerve block that prevented the activation of foot muscles. Mechanical data is presented including lower limb kinematics, kinetics and power outputs (in MAT file). Metabolic data is also provided for each participant and condition (excel file), while data is also provided around the effectiveness of the nerve block (as measured by m-wave amplitude before and after the block administration). The three speeds included a comfortable walking speed, a slow running speed (Froude number = 1) and a faster running speed (Froude number = 1.25).Issued: 2019
