According to the U.S. Army, a 180-pound soldier walking 6 kilometers at a 4 mph pace with a 35-pound pack will burn 680 calories. Without the pack, the same guy would burn an average of 410 calories.
The faster the pace, the more calories burned if weight loss is a goal. Maximum heart rate for exercise (220 minus age), when compared to charts of "fat burning goals" support many of the references that give the average of 1.4 m/s (3.1 mph), as within this target range.
The individual with the higher VO 2 max is running at a lower intensity at this pace than the individual with the lower VO 2 max is. [ 3 ] Some studies measure exercise intensity by having subjects perform exercise trials to determine peak power output , [ 4 ] which may be measured in watts , heart rate, or average cadence (cycling) .
The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...
High Intensity: Cycling at about 14-15.9+ mph, racing or leisure, fast, vigorous effort = 10.0 MET = 682 calories per hour Calories Burned Walking *Based on a one-hour workout for a 150-pound person
A typical 5k runner might consider 8 to 10 miles (13 to 16 km) of LSD, while a marathoner might run 20 miles (32 km) or more. LSD runs are typically done at an easy pace, 1–3 minutes per mile slower than a runner's 10k pace. The objectives of these runs are to build blood volume and to increase muscle strength, endurance, and aerobic fitness.
Humans have a high capacity to expend energy for many hours during sustained exertion. For example, one individual cycling at a speed of 26.4 km/h (16.4 mph) through 8,204 km (5,098 mi) over 50 consecutive days expended a total of 1,145 MJ (273,850 kcal; 273,850 dieter calories) with an average power output of 173.8 W. [10]
For reference, a normal high-intensity exercise session would typically cause a calorie burn of about 9.2 calories per minute (that's an estimate: these studies are very limited, and more research ...
