Metabolic cost of grade running in dogs

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1976
Dogs (Canis familiaris) were run up and down 7.4, 11.8, and 20.4% gradesas well as on the horizontal at speeds of 3 and 6 km/h while their steady-state oxygen comsumption was measured. On positive grades the metabolism wasdirectly dependent on both grade and speed.

The metabolic cost of various occupational exposures

Ergonomics, 1987
This paper reports on the oxygen uptake in seated volunteers subjected to 5 Hz sinusoidal vibration at 2ms−2, axial rotation alone and axial rotation in combination with vibration. Compared to non-vibrated, non-twisted tests, the axial rotation and vibration exposure increased the oxygen uptake by 32%.

The Metabolic Cost of Flight in Unrestrained Birds

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1978
ABSTRACT Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured during flight in unrestrained starlings by a new method. Mean RQ after the first 30 min of flight was 0·691±0·08 ( ± S.D.). Mean rate of carbon dioxide production was 19·7±2·2 ml CO2/min, which corresponds to a metabolic rate of 8·9 ± 1 W.

The high metabolic cost of a functional gut

Gastroenterology, 2002
Animal studies have shown that more than half of the dietary protein intake is used by the gut and that a large proportion of this utilization is devoted to (glyco-)protein synthesis. Recycling of these secretions may play a critical role in the regulation of overall dietary amino acid bioavailability.Four piglets (age 32 days, 8-10 kg) bearing portal,

Metabolic cost of walking: equation and model

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1986
Twenty years of published experience with the Workman-Armstrong equation for predicting walking VO2 is reviewed. The equation is reexpressed in currently accepted terminology, and it is shown that the equation serves well as a basic model of normal walking.

The Metabolic Cost of Lower Extremity Amputation

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1997
Amputation surgery should be approached as the first step in the rehabilitation of a patient with a non-functioning, salvageable limb. Before performing amputation surgery, the rehabilitation team should have an understanding of outcome expectations for the individual patient. Biologic joints are energy couples. When performing amputation surgery, more

The influence of the cost of growth on ectotherm metabolism

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1983
A new model of ectothermic growth and metabolism is proposed. This model differs from most earlier models in representing explicitly the contribution of the "cost of growth" to ectotherm metabolism. It is shown that the cost of growth may constitute between 17 and 29% of the metabolism of an "average" ectotherm population.

Metabolic loads and the costs of metazoan reproduction

Science
Reproduction includes two energy investments—the energy in the offspring and the energy expended to make them. The former is well understood, whereas the latter is unquantified but often assumed to be small. Without understanding both investments, the true energy costs of reproduction are unknown.

Metabolic cost of handcycling

2012
Nowadays, race handbikes are built with lightweight materials and usually present an aerodynamic user-interface property. These features markedly affect the propulsion techniques, mechanical loading, mechanical efficiency and thus the metabolic cost (C).
