Measuring BMR via oxygen consumption with indirect calorimetry.

Description
Many animals, like this goose, can be trained to walk on a treadmill, which allows scientists to compare metabolism during rest and exercise. Oxygen consumption can be determined by sampling the air exhaled into a tightly fitting mask. One-way valves prevent inhaled and exhaled air from mixing.
