Working capacity is the physiological key to understanding man's
ability, in technically less advanced communities, to exploit his
environment, and hence to understanding his role in the ecological
balance. In this volume the knowledge of working capacity in
tropical populations is reviewed in a series of illustrative
papers. Topics cover the measurement of working capacity in
populations: the functional consequences of malnutrition; growth,
size and muscular efficiency; ethnic differences in working
capacity; energy; expenditure and endemic disease; and energy flow
in tropical ecosystems. These papers and their ensuing discussions
lead to a series of recommendations on studies to be incorporated
in the Decade of the Tropics research programme of the
International Union of Biological Sciences.
