Will muscular tension increase oxygen consumption?
I'd never be in a vertical position -- it's too uncomfortable, cold, affects diving, can't move around using fins... -- so can't help you with the gas consumption I'm afraid.
The test : oxygen consumption by a diver in a horizontal vs a vertical position
Bob that is correct, I meant to say air instead of oxygenAny particular reason to be using oxygen for the test? Air would help keep the costs down on the study.
