Energy cost of walking in Sport (SP), Battle (BT) and Road March (RM) conditions, before (PRE) and after (POST) the Simulated Military Mission.

Values are presented as mean ± SD. ANOVA P values represent the main effects of time (T) and equipment (E), and the interaction effect (T×E). Post-hoc results are presented as:£SP#SP$SP> RM.CW: energy cost of walking; CW.TM: energy cost of walking normalized to the total mass (TM) moving on the treadmill, i.e. subject plus equipment.
