High intensity activity also yields a higher total caloric expenditure.
Another post-workout benefit is continuing caloric expenditure, according to exercise physiologists.
Generally, the heavier you are and faster you run, the greater your caloric expenditure.
Basal metabolism is usually by far the largest component of total caloric expenditure.
For aerobic locomotion, most animals have a nearly constant cost of transport - moving a given distance requires the same caloric expenditure, regardless of speed.
"Using what as the primary guideline, the use of the generators or the caloric expenditure?"
If caloric intake is below caloric expenditure, you lose weight.
Obviously, weight loss occurs only with decreased total caloric intake relative to caloric expenditure.
Of course, you're also spared the caloric expenditure involved in rewinding a tape.
Total caloric expenditure will be about 1,000 calories.
