Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).
Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)
So:
1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s
1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s
we're looking for the calories, so
1 joule = 0.239006 calories
So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:
248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.
We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:
82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).
The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories
Your heart muscle needs its own supply of blood because, like the rest of your body, it needs oxygen and other nutrients to stay healthy. For this reason, your heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to its own muscle through your coronary arteries.
