Table 2. Individual, physical and physiological data vVO2max (velocity at VO2max), BMI (Body Mass Index), and Cr (Energy cost of running). In the last three columns, inter-athlete ranking for Cr is provided in brackets. For example, athlete number 8 with the 9th Cr at 0% of slope, had the lowest Cr at 12.5 and 25% of slope.
