Abstract
Energy expenditure in a group of 58 adult male subjects has been studied for marching, rifle drill, parade, physical training, bayonet fighting, cycling, sitting, and standing, using the method of indirect calorimetry. For all these tasks a linear relationship between energy expenditure and body weight has been established. Submitted on September 5, 1961Keywords
