Summing the strokes: energy economy in northern elephant seals during large-scale foraging migrations. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundThe energy requirements of free-ranging marine mammals are challenging to measure due to cryptic and far-ranging feeding habits, but are important to quantify given the potential impacts of high-level predators on ecosystems.

The Principle of Similitude in Biology: From Allometry to the Formulation of Dimensionally Homogenous `Laws'

, 2019
Meaningful laws of nature must be independent of the units employed to measure the variables. The principle of similitude (Rayleigh 1915) or dimensional homogeneity, states that only commensurable quantities (ones having the same dimension) may be ...

Aging, Basal Metabolic Rate, and Nutrition.

Nippon Ronen Igakkai Zasshi. Japanese Journal of Geriatrics, 1993
Age is one of the most important factor of changes in energy metabolism. The basal metabolic rate decreases almost linearly with age. Skeletal musculature is a fundamental organ that consumes the largest part of energy in the normal human body. The total volume of skeletal muscle can be estimated by 24-hours creatinine excretion. The volume of skeletal

Causal effects of basal metabolic rate and adiposity on obstructive sleep apnea: univariable, multivariable, and bidirectional Mendelian randomization evidence

Future Science OA
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder strongly associated with obesity, yet the causal contribution of basal metabolic rate to OSA and the directionality of the OSA–metabolism relationship remain unclear.

An evaluation of basal metabolic rate among healthy individuals — a cross-sectional study

Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy, 2023
Background The main source of daily energy requirement in Asian societies is basal metabolic rate (BMR). Even though the reason for this fluctuation is debatable, prior research have shown that BMR is highly varied in individuals. All studies concur that

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...
