Objectives This investigation assessed the accuracy of error of the Pandolf load carriage energy expenditure equation when simulating contemporary military conditions (load distribution, external load and walking speed). Design Within-participant design. Methods Sixteen male participants completed 10 trials comprised of five walking speeds (2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 km· h− 1) and two external loads (22.7 and 38.4 kg). Results The Pandolf equation demonstrated poor predictive precision, with a mean bias of 124.9 W and− 48.7 to …
