    "abstract": "A simple harmonic oscillator model is proposed to describe the mechanical\npower involved in human locomotion. In this framework, by taking into account\nthe anthropometric parameters of a standard individual, we are able to\ncalculate the speed-power curves in human walking. The proposed model accounts\nfor the well known Margaria\u0027s law in which the cost ofthe human running\n(independent from the speed) is fixed to 1 Kcal/(Kg Km). The model includes the\neffects of a gentle slope (either positive or negative) and the effect due to\nthe mechanical response of the walking surface. The model results obtained in\nthe presence of a slope are in qualitative agreement with the experimental data\nobtained by A. Leonardi et al.",
