The phase shift between potential and kinetic energy in human walking
The phase shift between potential and kinetic energy in human walking is a scholarly work by Giovanni Cavagna and Mario Angelo Legramandi, published in 2020 in ''The Journal of Experimental Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include kinetic energy, classical mechanics, electromyography, atomic physics, potential energy, lift, physics, sports science, work, sagittal plane, trajectory, energy, mechanics, center of mass, energy, gravitational potential, mechanical energy, pendulum, and gravity. It is known that mechanical work to sustain walking is reduced thanks to a transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy as in a pendulum.
