Fig. 6. Relationship between body mass (Mb, g) and maximum
metabolic rate (MMR, ml O2 h-1) induced either by
exercise (A, MMRe) or exposure to cold in a He-O2
atmosphere (B, MMRc). Equations of the regression lines:
MMRe=16.7Mb0.87±0.05 (95%
CI), r2=0.98, N=36;
MMRc=31.6=Mb0.65±0.05,
r2=0.92, N=70. MMRe data from
Seeherman et al. (1981),
