does this look accurate to you?

“To move 1 kilogram of body mass over 1 horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.”

They telling us we can stair climb for 3 minutes equals one hour of walking?I walk 3.6 miles day in little less than hour, so if I walk at same pace, only need 3 minutes?

Want to burn calories? Climbing stairs might be the most effective exercise for you

If you’re trying to lose a bit of weight and want a new way to do it, stair-climbing as a regular exercise — or just adding a few flights a day — might be for you

Hell if I know Going vertically you are working against gravity so yeah you will expend more energy than moving horizontally. But you have just presented why inclined stair machines are such a better workout than walking I do know that.

Just thought being an engineer, you go do the math..Sorry I asked

Don’t be sorry you asked it’s just I don’t typically use those units. I normally work in English units not SI. Calorie is a unit of energy. I normally work in Joules. But as I said the premise is sound if you are moving vertically under your power you are going against gravity and that is significantly more work that moving horizontally. Additionally I’m not sure this is some closed equation but rather a lab test on actual humans. I’m not sure I’d even know what to calculate

But I would caution going all in on stair climbing at our ages due to wear and tear on lower back, hips, and knees.

ND40 and I are retired ... that's too much to ponder these days.

And like I said I don’t think it’s even a closed equation.

And it’s amazing how quickly this stuff leaves you when you don’t give a rats ass about it anymore. On the consulting it can take me quite a while to recall something I did just a couple of years ago now that I don’t GAS about it anymore.

Here is your money shot from the article. And again this is a generic statement as the larger (IE more mass) you are the more you’re gonna burn I’d guess but as a ratio metric comparison on stairs vs horizontal the 20x might hold true.

“Research shows you burn about 20 times more calories going up stairs than walking on flat ground. Even going down stairs you burn roughly five times more, the muscles being worked to slow the body’s descent.“

By “stair” I would assume they use some standard stair pitch inclination which is absolutely not in my wheelhouse.

 

[Orangeburst]

heck, the 20 times just seemed too good to be true..if I can do something hard for 3 minutes, sure beats walking for an hour..i hate walking.

And you will destroy your back, hips, and knees. Higher energy burn rate = higher load. Higher load = higher wear and tear

I’d say being aggressive about it would be for the fit people. If you consider yourself fit maybe it’s for you. My fat ass nursing this back surgery tells me my case

I just want to thank God Almighty, and this simulation, as well as any Deity you fellas might pray to....that we do NOT have to listen to Gary Danielson suck the foreskin off of Oklahoma and Venables today. In fact, with Gary and ole Vern unceremoniously shipped off to watch crappy big10 football hopefully for eternity...we should never, ever have to listen to Gary spend hours criticizing UT and slobbering all over Saban, Smart, Spurrier, or any other player or coach pitted against our VOLS. Hopefully they are forever banished with CBS.

In fairness, Vern was really just guilty by association. He never much badmouthed the good guys, nor was he one to fawn all over Saban, Smart etc like a 12yo girl drooling for some 18yo boyband singer. That was really all Gary, and it was truly reprehensible. I wouldnt wish all the crappy big10 football they are gonna have to watch on my worthless BIL.

Had to come to the bar to watch the game. My home internet is being crappy. Bar at 730 am. It's going to be a good Sunday lol

 

[joevol24]

A lot of orange in the stands

 

[NorthDallas40]

Holy cow we got away with one there. I’ll take a 5 yd penalty.

 

[joevol24]

You can't live long gambling like that. Get loud singing lol

 

[NorthDallas40]

ok this is gonna be a tight game. Both defenses are swarming.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Thank the Lord for the defense. Offense needs to get their heads out of their arses and play some ball...GO VOLS

 

[NorthDallas40]

That play was missing Heard

Let’s get another D stand and hold them to 3

Edit:

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Need some points here folks. Lets go Nico! Throw it over their heads. Where is my man Squirrel?!?

 

[joevol24]

Oklahoma showing teams how to stop us. Hopefully it's just nerves and trying to hard for Coach

 

[joevol24]

What a punt

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Gamechanging punt by Ross. Hes a stud. That punt after the 1st drive (bc Hype was a puss on 4th and 2 from their 40) bounced on the 4yd line same as this one...we had 2 VOLS standing a yard deep in the endzone that froze and watched the damn ball roll inyo the end zone for a touchback instead of taking 3 steps forward and catching the ball...

[NorthDallas40]

SAFETY!!!!

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Hahahahahahabab

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Damn we are about to be down both starting tackles
