Fig. 1. Aerobic performance in relation to body mass in Mongolian gerbils. The
upper and lower limits to oxygen consumption are shown (filled triangles;
basal metabolic rate, BMR over 10 min, and filled circles; maximal oxygen
consumption during forced exercise,
O2max over 1
min, respectively), along with two measures of aerobic performance during
voluntary activity: average daily metabolic rate (open squares; ADMR, the 24-h
average of oxygen consumption) and the highest 1 min average of voluntarily
attained
O2
(open circles;
O2max1).
