Calorie Expenditure Charts For Physical Activity

Katch/Katch/McArdle

 

Preface


This booklet is about calories and physical activity. There are more than 1000 kcal value entries, by far the most up-to-date resource in the English language. The book is divided into three parts. The first part presents information about calories; what they are and how they are measured in food and produced by the body during rest and physical activity. Eamples of how to use the calorie charts are also presented. Part two presents the actual kcal expenditure values during various physical activities in alphabetical order and part three presents the kcal values by activity category.

It has taken nearly two years of library research to complete this booklet. During this time, we reviewed hundreds of scientific articles and books. While we have tried to be complete in our search, we have undoubtedly missed some sources. Consequently, we are continuing to update our database as we discover new data on exercise and physical activity energy expenditure. This up-to-date database is available on disc (Microsoft Excel 5.0 spreadsheet, and ASCII text-tab delimited) and can be purchased directly for $24 (includes shipping and handling). Make check or money order (U.S. funds only, no credit cards accepted) payable to Fitness Technologies, 1132 Lincoln Ave., Ann Arbor, MI, 48104. Please specify Mac or IBM format.
