Abstract:

We reported results obtained in estimating the energy expenditure (EE) of an active adult subject participating in LANY Footrace 2011 (5129 km, 70 consecutive days). At each stage EE was calculated from literature metabolic cost equations and GPS-measured speeds-inclines. The subject's average speed was 7.41 ± 0.51 km·h(-1). Race expenditure amounted to 87% of EE (31.3 MJ·day(-1)) (47.8%-37.1% of measured maximal oxygen uptake). These results provide data about EE for future stage-type ultra-endurance competitors.

Energy Budgets

Energy Budgets

Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Metabolic Rate

Metabolic Rate

The human body is a powerhouse of energy, with every cell performing numerous functions that require energy. This energy production and consumption is measured by the metabolic rate, which quantifies the total heat generated by all the body's chemical reactions and mechanical work. This measurement helps to determine the rate of kilocalorie (kcal) consumption needed to fuel all ongoing activities.
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) measures the energy expended at rest.
Several factors influence the...
