Predicting Energy Expenditure During Gradient Walking With a Foot Monitoring Device: Model-Based Approach

A basic, common assumption used is that the calorie consumption rate is proportional to the walking velocity. A GPS tracker can then be used to measure the walking distance and then compute the total energy consumption.
