    Wouldn't that affect your heart rate?

    increased O2 exchange = increased HR

    ... but ...

    increased HR does not always = increased O2 exchange.


    but back to the original topic...

    calories are a unit of energy, energy is a measure of work done, work is the activity being done. HR has no direct impact, it's more of a side effect. correlation vs causation.
