Abstract
The principles and laws that determine the relations between observed
quantities in experiments on human energy exchange are described in
terms of classical thermodynamics applied to an open system. It is
suggested that adherence to such a description will help avoid
ambiguities and imprecision in analysis of the data. The description
suggests a framework within which the control aspects of the system can
be profitably analyzed.
