The article from a university that uses advanced statistics to determine total calorie loss for 10 different physical activities.

Reason: university research is more likely to use rigorous methods, larger samples, and objective analysis than personal blogs, marketing-driven trainer posts, or opinion pieces. (Note: check that the study population matches high school–aged students and consider outcomes beyond calories—e.g., strength, endurance, injury risk—when choosing activities.)
