The heart rate method for estimating metabolic rate: review and recommendations

JA Green - Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A …, 2011‏ - Elsevier
Under most circumstances heart rate (fH) is correlated with the rate of oxygen consumption
(V˙ o2) and hence the rate of energy expenditure or metabolic rate (MR). For over 60years …
