Fig. 3. Oxygen consumption during recovery and the cost of activity
(Cact) as a function of body mass. (A) Excess
post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC); (B) factorial increase in metabolic
rate expressed as the ratio of
O2,peak
following activity and the resting metabolic rate (RMR); (C)
Cact relative to the number of body lengths (BL) traveled;
(D) Cact relative to the number of meters traveled. Open
circles are species means, filled circles are individual values.
