Do people with higher metabolism walk faster?
I once came across a claim that people naturally walk at a speed that results in the least energy expenditure per distance travelled. Walking too slow would result in burning more energy for basic body processes, but running too quickly would burn extra energy in skeletal muscles.

If this claim is correct, then it should follow that people with higher metabolism would walk faster. Is this true? Have there been any studies on this subject?
