Schematic diagram of the open-circuit indirect calorimetry system used to measure oxygen consumption (\({\dot{\text{V}}\text{O}}_{2}\)), showing the air being pumped in by the air pump (1) measured by a flow meter and the air subsample being drawn out, through the drying chamber by the FoxBox Respirometry System. For the highest flow rates, an additional air pump (2) was used which had a built-in flow meter (not shown; Flowkit, Sable Systems, Las Vegas, USA). Temperature, barometric pressure and humidity were also measured within the chamber
