One of the objectives of investigations carried out within the
Human Adaptability section of the International Biological
Programme was to obtain comparable data on population
characteristics over a wide range of ecosystems. This volume
provides a brief survey of the variables affecting the
physiological work capacity of various populations. The items
considered include body weight, fatness, maximum oxygen intake,
muscular strength, and the process of oxygen transport from the air
to the working muscles. The discussion is based largely on data
collected under the auspices of the IBP, using methods standardised
for the programme. The influence of race, heredity, environment and
disease are considered, and a detailed analysis is made of various
classes of athlete. The material will be useful to human and
environmental physiologists, anthropologists, and those interested
in physical education.
