There are a variety of ways in which the duration of the recovery period after exercise can be determined. The method most frequently employed depends upon observations of the respiratory metabolism. This method has been chosen because the respiratory changes due to exercise can be followed with reasonable ease and accuracy, and because these changes are among the last of the more obvious effects of the exercise to disappear during recovery. In addition, interesting data concerning the effects of exercise on respiratory metabolism can be collected during the determination of the duration of the recovery period when this method is used. In determining the duration of the recovery period by observation of the respiratory metabolism, it is necessary to decide when the carbon dioxide output and oxygen intake have returned to their normal values and are no longer affected by the process of recovery from the exercise. This decision has been made in a variety of ways by different investigators. Some have made one or more pre-exercise determinations of the subject's basal oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output. Recovery was said to be complete when the carbon dioxide output and oxygen consumption returned to these values after exercise. Others found that the oxygen consumption did not return to the pre-exercise level within a reasonable length of time, but remained above normal for several hours. They considered that recovery was complete when the carbon dioxide output and oxygen intake returned to a steady level after exercise, even if the level was not the same as that before exercise.

1. By means of a differential volumeter the increased oxygen consumption and the increased carbon dioxide output of frog nerve during and after stimulation have been observed. 2. Measurements of the R.Q. of nerve by this method are complicated by the retention of carbon dioxide. Attempts were made to avoid this (a) by studying the nerves at high CO2 tensions to make the retention small and (b) by calculating the amount of CO2 retained from the carbon dioxide dissociation curve of nerve and applying this value as a correction. 3. The results of both those methods when averaged together give an R.Q. of the excess metabolism of 1.19 and an R.Q. of the resting nerve of 0.97. 4. Observations on the time course of the gas exchange during stimulation indicate a delay in the appearance of the extra carbon dioxide output relative to the oxygen intake. 5. Very similar time curves can be calculated from the diffusion coefficients and the solubilities of the oxygen and the carbon dioxide.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.

Aerobic metabolism (oxygen consumption, [Formula: see text], and carbon dioxide production, [Formula: see text]) has been measured in newborn rats at 2 days of age during normoxia, 30 min of hyperoxia (100% O2) and an additional 30 min of recovery in normoxia at ambient temperatures of 35 °C (thermoneutrality) or 30 °C. In normoxia, at 30 °C [Formula: see text] was higher than at 35 °C. With hyperoxia, [Formula: see text] increased in all cases, but more so at 30 °C (+20%) than at 35 °C (+9%). Upon return to normoxia, metabolism readily returned to the prehyperoxic value. The results support the concept that the normoxic metabolic rate of the newborn can be limited by the availability of oxygen. At temperatures below thermoneutrality the higher metabolic needs aggravate the limitation in oxygen availability, and the positive effects of hyperoxia on [Formula: see text] are therefore more apparent.Key words: neonatal respiration, oxygen consumption, thermoregulation.
