799.0. "Formula for Calories Burned?" by NCBOOT::VENTURA (Wherever you go, there you are!) Fri Apr 23 1993 20:28

    Does anyone have the formula that computes calories burned given
    weight, type of exersize(specificly bicycling), distance, pace, ect.
    
    I am helping a friend write a program that tracks this for our bicycle
    club.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dave (W/W maintainance, month 4, and still below goal).

799.1CALORIE EXPENDITURESIAMOK::DESMARAISFri Apr 30 1993 21:478
    I just received some documentation from my nutrition classes.
    
    It is based on Calorie expenditure per minute for various activities
    including stairs, swimming, bicycling, dance, skiing, etc.  I have put
    a couple of notes, but you're welcome to a copy.  Drop me a line.

799.2need a list for running (fast,slow), cycling (fast,slow)APLVEW::DEBRIAEraising two thumbs up in tranquillityWed Aug 07 1996 07:385
    
    This last reply wasn't very helpful. I used to have a list of the
    number of calories burned per minute of different types of exercise. 
    Is there a version in here or on-line somewhere?

    	I have the information at home.  I'll try to remember to
    	bring it in.
    
    	BTW, it's from the UCAL Berkeley Wellness Encyclopedia - a
    	quite useful resource.
