436 VITALITY AND EFFICIENCY WITH RESTRICTED DIET. 



the squad has lengthened in its duration over that of walking 0.15, 

 0.10, and 0.09 second, respectively, while at these same points the 

 pulse cycle is shorter than the average duration for the prehminary 

 standing period by 0.05, 0.08, and 0.08 second, respectively. 



TRANSITION PULSE OF A GROUP OF NORMAL MEN. 



As was stated at the beginning of this discussion, no transition pulse 

 records were taken while the subjects were living on a normal diet, so 

 that to secure data for purposes of comparison, 5 members of the staff 

 of the Laboratory volunteered to go through the same walking routine 

 in the post-absorptive condition, although no blood-pressure measure- 

 ments were made at the end of walking. The transition pulse cycles 

 of these men are given in figure 101.
