    In the current study, the effect of the weight body index (WBI) on the walking function of university students was investigated, with 45 male general university students as the test subjects. For each subject, left and right knee extension strength was measured and the mean was divided by body weight to calculate the WBI. Wearing a pedometer, each subject performed fast walking with maximum exertion for 400 m, customary walking felt to be the mode of walking in daily life, and slow, leisurely walking at a freely chosen speed. Assessment for a relation between WBI and walking function (walking speed, step length, and cadence) in these three walking modes showed a correlation of both walking speed and step length with WBI (each p=0.01, p=0.00) in the fast walking mode, in which step length apparently had a greater effect on walking speed than cadence. In the customary and leisurely walking modes, no correlation was found for any of the parameters. The results thus indicate that in investigating the walking function of university students, observation of fast walking rather than customary walking speed is desirable. Further study will be necessary to elucidate relations between the various elements of physical strength and fast walking.
