Overview
Brief Summary
The current study will evaluate the biomechanical and physiological responses of unilateral and bilateral hand-held moderate intensity load carriage among healthy adults. From the data we could postulate the maximum weight bearing capacity and hence it will provide a general safety measures in the society.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gait parameters (spatial parameters and kinematic parameters), physiological variables like heart rate, body temp, energy expenditure etc.
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., first 30 sec of data recording) | Mid-Cycle (i.e., 30 sec between middle of 1st & 2nd minute) | Final-Cycle (i.e., last 30 sec of data recording)
Secondary Outcomes
- Perceptual variables like RPE (Rating of perceived exertion) & videographic few biomechanical parameters will be done.(Baseline (i.e., first 30 sec of data recording))
