Energy expenditure studies in military populations using Kofranyi-Michaelis respirometers

C. Frank Consolazio 1

1 From the Bioenergetics Division, U.S. Army Medical Research and Nutrition Laboratory, Fitzsimons General Hospital, Denver, Colorado 80240

The K-M metabolimeter is now being used extensively in measuring the physical activities of military personnel. This paper describes the use of this meter, the problems of calibration and diffusion of the respiratory gases, the newer modifications for simplification of the measurements, and the total errors that are anticipated in its use. Data are presented from various military studies in which the energy cost of various physical activities have been measured and calculated in calories/minute.
