RESUMO

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the satchel construction characteristics in selected biomechanical and physiological parameters during the accomplishment of the locomotion of mailmen pedestrians. 49 mailmen had been voluntary (30±7 years, 1.74±0.62 m and 72.6±11.8 kg), which had used 3 types of satchels, simple lateral satchel (MLS), lateral satchel with pelvic belt (MLCP) and double satchel with pelvic belt (MDCP). The subjects had walked 10 minutes on Trotter treadmill instrumented with two Kistler force platforms, using a gas analyzer that made analyzes of the exhaled gases. Fy1 presented differences between MLS (1.35±0.10) and MLCP (1.37±0.11) and MDCP (1.37±0.10), like others FRS parameters. The step and strike lengths had not been sensible to the different satchels. The VE presented differences between MLCP (23.2±5.4 L · min-1) and MLS (22.5± 5.0 L · min-1) and MDCP (22.7±4.8 L · min-1) and the VO2, presented differences between MDCP (14.6± .1 mL · kg-1 · min-1) and MLS (15.1±3. 6 mL · kg-1 · min-1) and MLCP (15.2±4.3 mL · kg-1 · min-1). The dynamic data had pointed to benefits using MLS, but the physiological data had indicated to benefits using MDCP. Although the data have presented statistical differences, but these had not been representative magnitudes, thus, the MDCP seems to induce bigger metabolic demand and MLS the lesser physical stress.
