Effect of treadmill angle and speed on animal pitch, VeDBA and rate of oxygen consumption. A Animal pitch, the angle of the spine, (°) against the slope angle of the treadmill (°); B vectorial dynamic body acceleration (VeDBA, g) against treadmill speed (km h−1); C rate of oxygen consumption (log (V̇O2, mL kg−1 min−1)) against the slope angle of the treadmill (°). The black line denotes the predicted linear effects model and the red line denotes the predicted quadratic effects model; D rate of oxygen consumption (log (V̇O2, mL kg−1 min−1)) against speed (km h−1) of the treadmill
