The aim of this study was to compare two strategies of walking test performance (self-paced intensity and fixed pace) for the determination of critical walking velocity (CWV) parameters. Fourteen female volunteers (age = 60.8 ± 10.3 years) were randomly submitted to three fixed-time walking tests (3...
