Fig. 4. Histogram of the percentage difference between the measured and
allometrically predicted net cost of running (Erun) using
(A) the animal data from Taylor et al.
(Taylor et al., 1982)
(N=95) and the allometric equation
(Eqn 1) developed in their study
(where Erun is computed using the slope method; see
Materials and methods) and (B) 31 animals for which Erun
was computed using the subtraction method and the allometric equation
developed from these data (Eqn
2). The position of the mean human Erun based
on the subtraction method from 20 previously published studies is represented
by the black bars.
