Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of a hip strap on physiological responses while walking with a backpack weighing 30% of the participant's body mass.
- Participants were tested in two conditions (with and without the hip strap) while walking on a treadmill, with data collected on metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.
- The results showed no significant differences in physiological responses between the strapped and unstrapped conditions, indicating that using a hip strap does not affect these responses during moderate-intensity walking.
