Abstract：Objective To study the differences in biomechanics of active and passive movements,and cardiopulmonary function on the treadmill in healthy subjects.Methods Twenty-five healthy male volunteers walked at 3 km/h,7 km/h and ran at 10 krn/h on a self-made treadmill under both motorized and non-motorized mode.The gait character parameters,the joint angle,the peak value and the rate-of-change of plantar pressure,Vo2 and heart rate (HR) were recorded for comparative analysis.Results The gait character parameters were not significantly different between the active and passive movement at all the three speeds (P ＞ 0.05).While the body angle,the angle of the hip,knee and ankle were different significandy (P ＜ 0.05).There was a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05) in peak pressure of the first,third and fifth metatarsal head at all the three speeds.Vo2 and HR in active mode were significantly higher than those in passive mode (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There were differences between active and passive movement in kinematics,plantar pressure,and cardiopulmonary function.
