Reanalysis of empirical data relating the energetic ost of running (Erun = cm3 02 g-1 km-1) to body mass (g) indicate the slopes of these regression analyses are indistinguishable when bipeds and quadrupeds are compared. The results agree with previous theoretical conclusions that the cost of transport in all runners scales on body mass (g) raised to the -1/3 power. The comparison also suggests that there is no difference between the energetic cost of maintaining a running posture for bipeds and quadrupeds and this postural cost is much less than original estimates.
对将跑步能量消耗（Erun = cm3 O2 g-1 km-1）与体重（g）相关的实证数据进行重新分析表明，当比较两足动物和四足动物时，这些回归分析的斜率没有显著差异。结果与之前的理论结论一致，即所有跑步者的运输成本与体重（g）的-1/3次方成正比。该比较还表明，两足动物和四足动物维持跑步姿势的能量成本没有差异，并且这种姿势成本远低于最初的估计。
