Abstract
Many types of physical exertion are characterized by a baseline of moderate activity interrupted by sudden bursts of violent effort. In these conditions the muscle energy expenditure varies over a very large range in a practically instantaneous way. Indeed the whole body energy expenditure can increase in a few tenths of a second by a factor of 40, or even more in athletes; i.e., from rest (approx. 4 ml• min-1 • kg-1 O2 consumption) to an energy requirement of 160–220 ml • min-1 • kg-1, if expressed in O2 equivalent, during maximal effort (2,4,7).
