Sports mean also calorie
burning. How
larger the effort is how larger
the calorie combustion will be. It is also that a heavier person more energy consumed, because these have more
to move. Running a marathon costs between 2500 and 3000 Kcal. A
bicycle excursion of 4 hours in a spicy tempo almost the
same. Looking to a film: 250 Kcal.

Energy usage at several sports 
Energy usage at running
At running the energy usage is dependent on the number
of kilometers/miles
that you run and your weight. Therefore it is independent of the
running speed. The usage is approximately right
to: 1 kcal by km by kg (2.2 lbs).
Or 1.6 kcal by mile by kg (2.2 lbs). The
more efficient runner a little less and the other way
around.
Table energy usage
Below a table in which the energy usage per hour by
kilo and pound body weight has been calculated
for several speeds.
In the last column the usage for someone of 60 kg (or
132 lbs) has been calculated
per hour.
