Calculating calories burned from different exercises
Hi
I am trying to find a formula which will indicate the number of calories burned from a particular exercise. I presume that this may factor in bodyweight and other such details (??) Does anything like this exist?? If there were a list of exercises, and the calories for each exercise, that would be very useful Any help appreciated Thanks |

There are too many factors to consider, e.g. weight of the person, weight of the machine, the way in which an exercise is carried out, the weight resistance, the person's effort which is practically put in, metabolism, etc. Oh, and by the way, these 'burned calories' counters on cardio-vascular equipment -- that's bull too. But people like it. Nothing else to do... Do the exercise without worrying about the arithmetic. There are plenty of more pleasant things to ponder as you go.

If there were a list of exercises, and the calories for each exercise, that would be very useful Any help appreciated Thanks Various training equipment such as rowing ergs, stationary bikes and treadmills can calculate energy expended by modeling the physics of the device quite accurately. The unit of measure of energy input by the user can be expressed in kCals, watts, joules, etc. This expressed value is not what the actual user is expending for the total effort where the erg input is a majority of the work performed since many body motions such as breathing will not be included in the erg's calculations. |
