SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF PREVIOUS OBSERVATIONS. 



25 



experiments on horizontal plane Continued. 



7 Averages computed from results given by the author for 15 different subjects. The results 

 are grouped for the two loads carried. 



8 A11 heat values computed from the oxygen increment during walking as given by the author 

 and with an assumed respiratory quotient of 0.85. Assuming a quotient of 0.75, the results for 

 the two series are: range 0.307 to 0.562; average, 0.400; range 0.356 to 0.521, average 0.411. 



9 The results in each of these series have been grouped for this summary according to the rates 

 of walking, the limit of the first group being set at about 80 meters in agreement with the treat- 

 ment given the material in the original publications. The values for distance and calories are 

 given as corrected by Brezina and Reichel.
