Energy requirements for different activities

Description

An experiment was conducted to compare the energy requirements of three physical activities: running, walking and bicycle riding. Eight subjects were asked to run, walk and bicycle a measured distance, and the number of kilocalories expended per kilometre was measured for each subject during each activity.
