The energy cost of locomotion on the level and on gradients for the red deer (Cervus elaphus).
Authors:J M Brockway  J A Gessaman
Abstract:The oxygen consumption (Vo2) of three castrated male red deer was measured while they walked on a treadmill at 7 degree and 14 degree slopes and on the level at speeds varying from 44.3 to 172.9 m.min(-1). The energy cost of horizontal locomotion in excess of standing was 2.6 J kg(-1).m(-1). The cost of maintenance of posture when walking was the same as that of standing. The energy cost of walking up gradients was 21.5 J kg(-1).vertical m(-1). These results are discussed in relation to values reported for other species.
