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 present state of 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.
