Abstract

This is the first study to assess the biomechanical adaptations to a wide range of wind speeds inside a wind tunnel. Humans increase their mechanical work and alter their drag area ( Cd A) by adapting their posture when walking and running against increasing head and tailwinds. The observed drag force applied to the subject is different between walking and running at similar headwind speeds.
