Metabolic cost of load carriage for the three experimental conditions. Solid bars indicate inter-subject mean of net metabolic rate of loaded walking, while error bars indicate SEM. Double asterisks (**) indicate that the difference between the two conditions is statistically significant (paired t-test; n = 7; P < 0.01). For EXO-ON, the net metabolic rate of loaded walking was significantly reduced by 14.88 ± 1.09% compared to NO-DEVICE (P = 5 × 10–5) and by 22.03 ± 2.23% compared to EXO-OFF (P = 2 × 10–5)
