  2. Running economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_economy

    Running economy (RE) a complex, multifactorial concept that represents the sum of metabolic, cardiorespiratory, biomechanical and neuromuscular efficiency during running. [1]: 33 [2] [3] Oxygen consumption (VO 2) is the most commonly used method for measuring running economy, as the exchange of gases in the body, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide, closely reflects energy metabolism.

  3. Human power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_power

    Human power is the rate of work or energy that is produced from the human body. It can also refer to the power (rate of work per time) of a human. Power comes primarily from muscles , but body heat is also used to do work like warming shelters , food, or other humans.

  4. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

    Common energy efficiency label on appliances to indicate their energy efficiency in a clear manner. Efficient energy use, or energy efficiency, is the process of reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. There are many technologies and methods available that are more energy efficient than conventional systems.

  5. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    The electrical energy input of this cell is 1.20 times greater than the theoretical minimum so the energy efficiency is 0.83 compared to the ideal cell. A water electrolysis unit operating with a higher voltage that 1.48 V and at a temperature of 25 °C would have to have heat energy removed in order to maintain a constant temperature and the ...

  6. Bicycle performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance

    The energy input to the human body is in the form of food energy, usually quantified in kilocalories [kcal] or kilojoules [kJ, which is equivalent to kWs or kilowatt-seconds]. This can be related to a certain distance travelled and to body weight, giving units such as ⁠ kJ / km⋅kg ⁠. The rate of food consumption, i.e. the amount consumed ...

  7. Energy efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency

    Luminous efficiency, a measure of how well a light source produces visible light; Fuel efficiency, the efficiency of converting potential energy in a fuel into kinetic energy; Energy efficiency in transportation, the fuel economy of various modes of transportation; Energy-efficient landscaping, a type of landscaping designed for the purpose of ...

  8. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    Because of their light weight and small motors, they are extremely energy-efficient with a typical energy efficiency of 1.1 kWh (4.0 MJ) per 100 km [56] (1904 MPGe 810 km/L 0.124 L/100 km), even more efficient than bicycles and walking. However, as they must be recharged frequently, they are often collected overnight with motor vehicles ...

  9. Energy homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_homeostasis

    Energy intake is measured by the amount of calories consumed from food and fluids. [1] Energy intake is modulated by hunger, which is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, [1] and choice, which is determined by the sets of brain structures that are responsible for stimulus control (i.e., operant conditioning and classical conditioning) and cognitive control of eating behavior.
