Steady-state, O2-deficit and O2-debt at severe work

Summary

The O2-uptake during running at different speed between 10 and 20 km/hour on a horizontal treadmill has been compared. A straight lined increase in O2-uptake with increasing speed was found. Determinations of O2-deficit and O2-debt showed, however, that the total energy output did not follow that line. At high speed the energy output showed a steep increase. The explanation for this is apparently that at high speed a significant part of energy has to be delivered by anaerobic processes involving low efficiency.
