It has been demonstrated that the oxygen consumption of healthy humans scales allometrically with body mass across the entire metabolic range. Moreover, only two scaling exponents (rest and exercise) were required to produce mass-independent outcomes from those data. Accordingly, ratiometric and linear regression analyses are not recommended as scaling methods.
