There was a similar test of a taiji master at, I think, Stanford University in California. They hooked him to electrodes and monitored his power output, energy usage and vitals while he was doing IMA, and the scientists almost passed a brick in amazement at the results. It could still be on the 'net somewhere.

Edit: Here is a little info. It was Shu Dong Li. Scroll down to Class 8 for details.

There was a video, but I don't see it around now. May be on YouTube.
