Walking speed (m·s^-1); oxygen consumption (ml·kg^-1·min^-1) and cost (ml·kg ^-1·m^-1).
NS = non-significant. ^* p < 0.05.
fPercentage variability was calculated by averaging the absolute value of the difference between each measurement of the group, dividing this by the average of the group, and multiplying by 100.

Bias (mean difference) (± Random error) (1.96 SD difference).
