Does the McNeill Alexander model accurately predict maximum walking speed in novice and experienced race walkers?

Background: Mathematical models propose leg length as a limiting factor in determining the maximum walking velocity. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a leg length-based model in predicting maximum walking velocity in an applied race walking situation, by comparing experienced and novice rac...
