AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the role of energy cost in locomotion, 
      specifically the rate of perceived exertion and movement variability in gait 
      transition for eight race walkers (RW) and seven nonrace walkers (NRW). We 
      hypothesized that a group of correlated variables could serve as combined 
      triggers. Participants performed a preferred transition speed (PTS) test, 
      exhibiting a higher PTS for RW (10.35 +/- 0.28 km/hr) than for NRW 
      (7.07 +/- 0.69 km/hr), because RW engaged in race walking before switching to 
      running. None of the variables increased before transition and dropped in PTS, 
      which challenged the hypothesis of a unique transition variable in gait 
      transitions. Principal component analysis showed that combined hip angle 
      variability and rate of perceived exertion could determine gait transitions in 
      elite RW and NRW. Thus, human gait transition may be triggered by a pool of 
      determinant variables, rather than by a single factor.
