I have decided to perform squat jumps as a good at home exerciseduring the stay at home order. In the morning I ate two donuts (190kilocalories each) and would like to know how many squat jumps Ineed to perform in order to burn off the donuts? For eachrepetition, I squat down so my center-of-mass is 0.5 m above theground and at the top of my jump my center-of-mass is 1.6 m abovethe ground. One kilocalorie equals 4,184 Joules. My body mass is 84kg. My gross efficiency is 23%. One repetition is jumping up to 1.6m and coming back down to 0.5 m (so I am performing concentric andeccentric work).

Over the next few weeks I become very good at performing squatjumps and my efficiency increases to 28%. Will I need to performmore or less repetitions now to burn off those donuts? Describe onestrategy to reduce the number of required squat jumps. Be sure yourdescription appropriately incorporates biomechanical concepts.
