A request for information from an exercise physiologist. If you have
suggestions for him please let me know. Thanks.
I am searching for articles on physical activity measurement in
animals. I know there are studies using pedometers in cows and
dogs. I suspect there may be studies that quantify physical activity
in migrating birds by measuring the number of flaps of the wings. I
also suspect there may be studies that quantify activity in fish by the
number of tail swishes (many researchers put fish in swim flumes and
measure VO2, EMG, and all sorts of things). Do you know of some
examples of such articles?
