Magneto-electric measurements on GdAlO3

“…In contrast to the vertical loading experiments (Cooke, 1989) there was a significant increase in V02 (1 min-1) with horizontal load in both groups (Analysis of Variance (ANOVA P < 0-001) and a significant external work rate-by-group interaction (ANOVA P < 0-001). However, an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with both speed and external work rate treated as covariates, eliminated the effect of external work rate and the external work rate-by-group interaction.…”

“…Since it was also impossible to quantify accurately the external work rate imposed on the subjects, a horizontal impeding force (Lloyd & Zacks, 1972) was used in the present experiments to test the consistency of the VO2 response of children and adults to a measured workload. The subjects and running speeds (2-66, 3-11, 3-56 and 4 00 m s-1) were the same as those in the vertical loading experiment (Cooke, 1989). For each of the 4 speeds the subjects ran unloaded for 3 min, followed by 3 periods of 3 min running against horizontal impeding forces selected to elicit no more than 85 % of the subjects Vo2max.…”
