To investigate the impact of band-pull walking on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses in young adults.
Conducted a randomized crossover design with 14 participants
Participants performed band-pull walking and normal walking on a treadmill at varied speeds
Monitored upper-limb muscle activity through electromyography and recorded heart rate and perceived exertion
Band-pull walking significantly increased upper-limb muscle activation compared to normal walking
Heart rate and metabolic equivalents were higher during band-pull walking, with increases of 8-12%
Perceived exertion for upper limbs increased, while it remained stable for lower limbs
