Abstract

A study was done to compare energy expenditure per unit time for a group of students doing exercises on Treadmill and Track while running and walking. The effect of body mass on expenditure of energy in unit time was compared while running on Track and Treadmill and while walking on Track and Treadmill. The effect of speed on energy expenditure per unit time was also studied. The study reveals energy expenditure per unit time in the same person was more on Track walking and Track running when compared with Treadmill walking and Treadmill running in the study group taken1. It also revealed that increased energy expenditure was necessary with increased body mass in both Track and Treadmill running and walking2. When there is increase in the speed of the exercise, there was increased energy expenditure per unit time.
