1.4 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

In a study of healthy young menJW Vezina, “An examination of the differences between two methods of estimating energy expenditure in resistance training activities,” Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, April 28, 2014, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24402448, doing 20 push-ups in 1 minute burned an amount of energy per kg that for a 70.0-kg man corresponds to 8.06 calories (kcal). How much would a 70.0-kg man’s temperature rise if he did not lose any heat during that time?
