The present work has analyzed and discussed the effect of gravitational force on the walk-run transition speed on the planets of the solar system.A walk-run transition speed at different gravity level has been calculated.Our results suggested that by increasing gravity level, the walk-run transition speed occurred at faster speed whereas the corresponding Froude numbers remain constant in normal and high gravities.The most significant effect of gravity on the Froude number was observed for the planets with gravity lower than the earth.In addition, the rates of oxygen consumption at the walk-run transition speed for these celestial objects have been predicted.The results showed that the rate of oxygen consumption for the planets are at the highest for those which have a gait transition at Froude number of greater than 0.5.
