Abstract
The authors have collected into comparable tables data for rates of energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry during various human activities, e.g., sleep, walking up hill at different speeds, various recreations, domestic work, clerical work, labor of a wide variety of kinds, and industrial work. They compare some measurements of total energy outgo with measurements of total calorie intake, and state that both sources of information are necessary in drawing up physiological scales of dietary calorie needs.
