Abstract: The energy cost of walking (at 3.2 km x h(-1)) per unit distance (J x kg(-1) x m(-1)) at gradients of 0%, +7%, and +12% and during a progressive test (2% increase in gradient every 2 min), as well as the overall (aerobic plus anaerobic) net cumulative energy consumption and the corresponding maximal exercise duration were assessed in 19 patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and in 13 moderately active control subjects. With a 0% gradient, the energy cost of walking was approximately 40% greater in patients with PAD than in controls (2.93+/-0.52 and 2.13+/-0.33 J x kg(-1) x m(-1) respectively; P
