Energy/calories and average force.
If you look in all Nutrition books and sites, you use/burn far far far more energy/calories when doing the same activity twice as fast. However someone says as the average force is the same in the below example, that you use the same energy/calories, I say this is not true, as the example 1 below is traveling faster and for more distance using more power. {work energy}

Bench press 80 pounds or 80% of your RM {repetition maximum} 6 times up and 6 times down, 1 second up and 1 second down = 12 seconds in all. 1m each way = 12m in all.
