l The subject had walked 12 miles in the course of the preceding 24 hours. His dinner the night before was 
an ordinary meal, varied in character. 
* The subject sat on the ordinary seat of the ergometer with his feet resting on blocks placed on the floor. 
* The subject sat on the ergometer for half an hour before the period began. 
* The subject complained that the'position was very tiring. 
s The subject said that he felt extremely stiff and that he was tired.

1 The pulse-rate was not obtained. 
* The subject sat on the ordinary seat of the ergometer with his feet resting on blocks placed on the floor. 
* The subject sat on the ergometer about half an hour before the period began. He was quiet during the 
period except for removing his hands from the handles and placing them on his knees, and then back 
again to the handles. 
* The subject had the position of the handles altered slightly.

1 The subject had eaten heavily the day before, as late as 10.00 p.m. 
S The subject sat on a broad wooden seat with his feet on a rest attached to the front fork of the machine. 
3 The subject sat on the ergometer for half an hour before the period. He had the mouthpiece in his mouth 
20 minutes before the period and was in the usual cramped position. Between the sitting periods the 
subject was allowed merely to release his mouth a minute or two and then returned to the customary 
position. 
* The subject was distinctly hungry while sitting up. This feeling was quite lacking while he was lying down.
