ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device and method for determining the metabolic energy expenditure by a human during periods of running or walking. The energy expenditure is correlated with the weight of the subject (W) divided by the time of foot contact with a hard surface (t). This relationship can be programmed into a portable device for the direct measurement of both the rate of energy expenditure and the total energy expended.
