Can greater muscularity in larger individuals resolve the 3/4 power-law controversy when modelling maximum oxygen uptake? [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: The power function relationship, MR = a.m(b), between metabolic rate (MR) and body mass m has been the source of much controversy amongst biologists for many years. Various studies have reported mass exponents (b) greater than the anticipated

Comparison of stimulation patterns for FES-cycling using measures of oxygen cost and stimulation cost [PDF]
, 2006 <b>Aim</b><p></p> The energy efficiency of FES-cycling in spinal cord injured subjects is very much lower than that of normal cycling, and efficiency is dependent upon the parameters of muscle stimulation.
