“…With subjects ranging in mass from 41.5 to 98.9 kg, Berry et al (1993) found that body mass was positively and significantly related to a variety of work rates and pedalling speeds. Kamon, Metz, and Pandolf (1973) observed that placing weights on the ankles of cyclists increased the VO2.…”

“…The improved mechanical efficiency in supine and after weight reduction indicates that body weight per se is the most important factor for the increased oxygen cost of muscular work in obesity, partly due to an increased cost of keeping the body stable in the upright position and partly due to the cost of moving the heavy limbs [15]. The energy cost of just moving the body is also demonstrated during treadmill exercise.…”

“…These investigations have been performed either on a small number of subjects with marked overweight or on groups of patients with only slight or moderate obesity. The effect of body weight per se on the energy turnover during exercise has also been investigated by changing the body weight, either reducing it by diet or increasing it by overfeeding or by applying weights to the body [ l , [14][15][16][17]. The changes in body weight achieved by these mcthods have, however, only been slight or moderate.…”
