title: [Optimization of human walk speed at minimum energy expenditure--the function of leg own oscillation frequency on the transfer phase].
abstract: Equations were developed to determine the work of transferring the body gravity center for a unit mass in a path unit, and to estimate walk speed at a minimum energy expenditure. It was demonstrated that minimum energy expenditure can be achieved by walking at the pace that corresponds to leg own oscillation frequency.
