Burning Calories While Watching Horror Films?
Lets just say, one evening you and your family decide to watch a movie. What movie would you choose? There are several different genres of film, lets just say that you all decide to watch a horror film. Which horror film would you choose to watch? Lets say you pick Jaws, a movie that is well known around the world as being a horror film.
The family is watching Jaws. Would they ever think that they are actually burning calories while watching this movie? I didn't think so. That would be on everyone's last thought about burning calories while watching Jaws. Studies have researched that watching a horror film would get a person to nearly burn 200 calories at one time. With the movie Jaw, it is second on the list of 10 which a person will burn up to 161 calories.
While reading this research online, I found out that "... the moments designed to make viewers jump in terror are the best calorie-burners, as they cause heart rates to soar". Most, if not all people don't even think about the scary moments are actually the moments when your heart rate increases which leads to a person burning calories. I find this study very interesting because one would not be thinking about calories during a horror film because those 2 things don't go hand in hand.
This study is done by Telegraph Reporters.
