We have developed devices and methods for the determination of the oxygen cost of level walking. Oxygen uptake is determined with an argon dilution method. The validity of this technique is demonstrated. Walking speed is recorded and controlled by means of a speedometer cart. The reproducibility of a convenient, self-selected walking speed and of a predetermined speed was studied. Coefficients of variation were below two per cent. Corresponding values of the oxygen cost of walking at a predetermined speed were three per cent or less up to an interval between tests of six months. We conclude that the proposed methods are suited for longitudinal studies of the oxygen cost of level walking, for example in patients with walking disorders.
