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 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.

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

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.

I've always heard that the person that runs in frigid weather burns the most calories bc his body has to consume more to warm to acceptable core temp.

its too hot to run
just eat more salads this summer

My understanding is that energy used (calories burned) is measured in terms of heat equivalences needed to raise the temperatue of a standard amount of water. Of course in the human body that is not what the calories are being used for, unless the ambient temp is very low, in which case you would burn calories to heat the body. The process of cooling the body by perspiration flow and evaporation would not seem to make high energy demands on blood sugars or stored fats. Further, in the presence of body heating through exposure to high external temps, the blood vessels would expand and generate lowered pressure within the vascular system and therefore less work for the heart to supply blood to the muscles. Just intuitively, less demands on the muscular and vascular systems, less calories burned.
Worse yet, after a high temperature workout, expect a greater propensity to self-medicate with icy high calorie and carb beers.

Your body burns more calories in the cold trying to keep your body temp at 98.6º
