Book Description
Excerpt from Gaseous Exchange and Physiological Requirements for Level and Grade Walking In the research here projected it was definitely planned to conduct the experiments ultimately in a respiration chamber provided with calorimetric features. Since special stress was to be laid upon the measurements of ventilation of the lungs, body-temperature, heart rate, and physiological factors other than the metabolism, it was deemed wisest first to carry out a series of experiments in which the subject walked upon a treadmill in the laboratory and was thus much more accessible than he would be when walking upon a treadmill in a respiration chamber. It is this series of experiments that is reported in this publication. The calorimeter for carrying out the work experi ments planned has actually been constructed in the Nutrition Labora tory and thoroughly tested as to its capacity for measuring large amounts of heat as well as respiratory products. At the moment of writing it has not been used for experiments with men on the treadmill. It is hoped that when full information is obtained of some of the fundamental requirements of the human body during periods of muscular exercise, scientists will be in a better position to consider the question from the standpoint of industrial efficiency, and that in the end it may be possible to state whether or not a laborer should be able to perform a given amount of work with a greater efficiency than is commonly done, that is, with less cost to the body economy. If such evidence is positive, the problem of training the laborer and determining in what way the energy is wasted will be the next and most obvious step, and the suggestions and criticisms of Frederick W. Taylor1 would have the added support of physiological science. Mention should also be made here of the very clever mechanical devices of Amar,2 who has already attacked the problem of efficiency in various kinds of work.
