Question

Jazz is a 172 lb athlete who exercised at 7.6 METs. At this workload, what is his energy expenditure in kcals/min.? Round to the nearest whole number.\

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy expenditure in K cals/min = 10 K cals /min (approximately)

Explanation:

As we know

Energy expenditure in Kcal/min=  METs x 3.5 x Body weight (kg) / 200

Given is METs=7.6

Weight of Jazz= 172lb=78.02kg

putting the values in formula,

Energy expenditure in K cals/min=  7.6 x 3.5 x 78.02 / 200

                                                       =10.38 K cals /min

                                                       =10 K cals /min (approximately)

Therefore, Energy expenditure in K cals/min by Jazz will be approximately 10 K cals /min
