1. Find the estimated RMR of the following people using the SIMPLIFIED FORMULA • Male: 165 lb male, 5'10" and 22 years old • Female: 121 lb, 5'4", and 22 years old 2. Compare these numbers to the estimations computed using the Mifflin St-Jeor formula. 3. Which do you think that you would be best for you to use? Why? Example Cyclist: Has a RMR of 50 kcal/h • Physical activity: Cycling, moderate effort for 30 minutes • Cycling at this rate = 8 METs/h 4. What is his estimated Energy expenditure (EE) for this physical activity?

Step 1
- For males: RMR = weight in pounds x 11 - For females: RMR = weight in pounds x 10 Male: RMR = 165 lb x 11 = 1815 kcal/day Female: RMR = 121 lb x 10 = 1210 kcal/day Show more…

Describe a method for estimating the amount of energy required for an average adult human to take a single step at a typical walking speed, then use it to make the estimate. Express your answer in joules.
The following equations estimate the calories burned when exercising (source):Women: Calories = ( (Age x 0.074) — (Weight x 0.05741) + (Heart Rate x 0.4472) — 20.4022 ) x Time / 4.184Men: Calories = ( (Age x 0.2017) + (Weight x 0.09036) + (Heart Rate x 0.6309) — 55.0969 ) x Time / 4.184Write a program using inputs age (years), weight (pounds), heart rate (beats per minute), and time (minutes), respectively. Output calories burned for women and men.Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:System.out.printf("%.2f", yourValue);Ex: If the input is:49 155 148 60 the output is:Women: 580.94 calories Men: 891.47 calories
