In addition to walking and running speeds, ascents and descents will also affect intensity, energy
expenditure, and muscle fitness. For example, walking uphill slowly can burn as many calories as walking
briskly on a flat terrain. Walking or running technique, carrying a backpack and the quality of the surface
also have an effect on intensity. This is seen in the amount of expended calories.

Below typical calorie expenditures per hour (kcal/h) for a person weighing 75 kg. If you weigh less, fewer
calories are expended; if more, a greater amount of calories are expended.
