Does the heat increase the amount of calories burned in a session?

say if person A runs 3 miles in 70 degree weather vs
person B running 3 miles in 95 degree weather?
intensity/heart rate being equal
does person B burn more calories/get a better workout?
person B running 3 miles in 95 degree weather?

Person B arrives at the station in 4 hours?

I wish cause the heat does suck and would make it slightly better

Assuming their heart rate is equal then their work outs /outside of additional sweat would be very similiar.
I don't think heart rate would be the same though.

They will sweat more and lose more water weight but calories burned should be equal.

Heart rate increases in hotter temps. But I think caloric expenditure depends mainly on power output.

I would guess person A would be less sweaty.

You answered your own question.

No, you will not burn more calories in the heat. You will sweat more and lose more weight (water weight), but when you rehydrate, you will gain that water weight back.
Actually, you would burn more calories in the cold because your body will try harder to keep your body warm.

Wouldn't matter. heart rate is an indirect measure of work done. What matters is power output, which would be the same in both cases. Heart rate is only good for measuring output when environment is controlled for.
If anything you burn more calories in cold weather.

Can most people run the same 5k time when it's 95deg or 65deg outside? I can't. Not even close.
The body is less efficient burning energy when it's hot as hell outside.

Running 90 mph would save calories.

I've always heard that the body burns more calories in cooler temperature, because it is trying to warm your muscles up.

There are numerous studies that show you burn more calories in the heat. One of the reasons is because the heart has to pump more blood to keep the body temperature down.
Posted on 7/20/15 at 2:55 pm to mpar98
Is the wind blowing? Is it raining?
Posted on 7/20/15 at 2:57 pm to mpar98
yeah I think I read somewhere your body has to burn calories to keep its internal temp straight so running in extreme heat and extreme cold burn more calories. Bear in mind that is all based on hearsay and nothing.

No
There is zero benefit calorie wise to running in the heat.
