61. Suppose a highly trained athlete consumes oxygen at a rate of 70.0 mL/(min · kg) during a 30.0-min workout. If the athlete’s mass is 78.0 kg and their body functions as a heat engine with a 20.0% efficiency, calculate (a) their metabolic rate in kcal/min and (b) the thermal energy in kcal released during the workout.
