MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, WORK AND HEAT OUTPUT IN RUNNING UPHILL OR DOWNHILL

Heat output in running, per unit distance and body mass, was evaluated from published data on the corresponding energy cost (Cr). Cr is independent of the speed and is a function incline (i); between i = - 0.45 and + 0.45, it is described by Cr = 155.4 i5 - 30.4 i4 - 43.3 i³ + 46.3 i² + 19.5 i + 3....
