Oxygen consumption (VȮ2 mL kg−1 min−1) against vectorial dynamic body acceleration (VeDBA, g) of sheep walking on a treadmill. Data include sheep walking at varying speeds on each slope angle. Black closed squares represent data of two sheep walking at 0° slope incline; the solid line represents the relationship between V̇O2 and VeDBA at 0° slope incline. Similarly, black closed triangles represent 4° slope incline and closed circles represent 6° slope incline; the dotted line represents the relationship between V̇O2 and VeDBA at slope incline angles (both 4° and 6°); open triangles represent 4° slope decline and open circles 6° slope decline, respectively
