Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Two questions occured to me regarding cardio: 1.) Suppose you're doing CR at 1500 calories a day. If you add 500 calories worth of exercise do you then eat 2000 calories a day? Does the mechanism change or is their absolutely no difference between each scenario? Are marathon runners inadvertantly doing CR, then? 2.) How is caloric expenditure calculated? Is it due to (percieved) exertion, actual work done, or work done by your muscles? Ie: If person A and B have different levels of fitness (let us assume same BW to avoid different amounts of work done) do they burn the same amount of calories over the same distance and tempo even though one person is necessarily exerting more effort? How do various inclines affect caloric expenditure? If anyone knows the answers to these questions, I'd be curious in having a look.
