Measurement of energy expenditure is particularly useful in certain areas like exercise assisted weight-loss programs. Energy expenditure is measured in terms of oxygen consumed, in litres per minute or ml.kg-1.min-1. Expression of energy expenditure in terms of ml.kg-1.min-1 facilitates comparison of energy expenditure among people of different body sizes.
