Try running with them.

I wouldn't dream of it.
I don't run anyway. I walk. You burn the same amount of energy either way.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 18 Apr 2011, 9:46, Reply)

you burn more running than walking. much more.
it's because you always have at least one foot in contact with the ground walking, so you don't have to put the energy in to keep lifting your body off the ground against gravity.

not true.
the same amount of energy gets burnt whether you're running or walking, it just changes how fast it gets burnt. If you're running, you burn it up more quickly then you would walking.

I'm sure that this makes no sense

I'm afraid this isn't true, Poppet.
It's a simple energy and force balance.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 9:51, Reply)

My biology textbook says otherwise.

(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 18 Apr 2011, 9:57, Reply)

Does it really?
Does it say "You burn exactly the same amount of energy walking than you do running"

Don't be a pedant.
It's not clever or funny
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:01, Reply)

Pedantry aside
I bet it doesn't state that walking and running require an identical amount of energy.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:03, Reply)

where did I say Identical or exact?
I didn't. I said "Around". Ie - not the exact same amount.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:04, Reply)

You said this
"the same amount of energy gets burnt whether you're running or walking"

Which doesn't leave any wiggle room about "around" or "exact"
(Bazongaloid, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:06, Reply)

it's about 50% more energy for running
for a given speed. I can't find the reference though, sorry.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:15, Reply)

It does though dunnit?
moving one lump of stuff from point a to point b always requires the same amount of energy if all things are equal.

.... I'm confusing myself now.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:05, Reply)

But they aren't equal are they.
It's the same as walking up a slope versus stairs. Stairs are apparently more efficient.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:07, Reply)

It's true, if you walk 25 miles or run for 20 miles, you'll burn the same amount of energy.

Then it's wrong, I'm afraid.
Some guy in the states somehow managed to get a PhD out of it a couple of years ago, but it's pretty obvious Newtonian physics. When you walk, you keep your legs mostly straight, and your center of gravity rides along fairly smoothly on top of your legs. In running, you jump from one foot to the other. Each jump raises your center of gravity when you take off, and lowers it when you land because you bend the knee to absorb the shock. This continual rise and fall of our weight requires a tremendous amount of Newtonian force, essentially to work against gravity, on both takeoff and landing, which doesn't happen in walking.

That's before you even get into the biology aspect of efficiency of anaerobic vs aerobic respiration (anaerobic is more common in running and is less efficient) and issues of wind resistance, although that's a function of speed and you are talking about running vs walking at the same speed so you're correct, that doesn't matter)
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:08, Reply)

not having done biology ever
and purely working from the physics point of view, that is fairly obvious

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:18, Reply)

I'm not sure of the exact answer but surely for a given distance there will be
a difference due to the efficiency of either walking and running. No I get your point about lifting off the ground but I always thought running made more efficient use of momentum than walking.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 10:01, Reply)

momentum is purely a feature of speed and mass
so if the running and walking speeds are the same then no, of course it doesn't.

The apostrophe denotes letters have been removed.

It also denotes possession

I was taught that as 'David, his car'

"Whose breasts" would be correct
