If a 100 kg man carries furniture with a MET value of 6 for one hour, how many calories will he burn?

300 calories

600 calories

To determine the number of calories burned, the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value, the person's weight in kilograms, and the duration of the activity are utilized in the calculation.

The formula to estimate calories burned during an activity is:

Calories burned = MET value × weight in kg × duration in hours.

In this scenario:

- The MET value is 6,

- The man's weight is 100 kg,

- The duration of the activity is 1 hour.

Using the formula, we calculate:

Calories burned = 6 METs × 100 kg × 1 hour = 600 calories.

This calculation reflects the energy expenditure based on the intensity of the activity (furniture carrying) and the individual's weight. Thus, for a 100 kg man engaging in an activity with a MET value of 6 for one hour, the correct number of calories burned is indeed 600 calories.

500 calories
