Therefore, the objective of the current research was to explicitly test the relationship between cycling work rate, cycling cadence, and gait velocity. 45 recreationally active young adults were randomly assigned to cycle at a normalised cadence and work rate, a higher cadence, or a higher work rate (CONTROL, FAST, HARD).

There was a significant interaction between group and time and post hoc comparisons showed that the FAST group walked significantly faster than the HARD group post-cycling.
