Equations for calculating calories burned through exercise

Hi

Firstly i would like to apologise for the length of this post, and thank anybody who will take the time to read it!

My name is Tom Ruddock, and i am a final year Computer Science student at the University of the West of England, Bristol. For my final year project i am currently attempting to create a computer program which can be used to create a gym training schedule for gym members.

I am having some trouble finding any information regarding how to calculate the amount of calories burned during a certain exercise for a specific person. There are many programs which do exactly what i would like my program to do, which is simply to take a persons age and weight, and for many different gym exercises create the amount of calories they would burn doing that excercise, given the time spent exercising at whatever level of resistance the machine is set to. I am yet to find any information regarding the equations programs like these would use in order to calculate this.

I realy have become stuck with this so any help anybody could give me with this would be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows of these equations or where i could find them that would be fantastic. Failing that, if anyone could point me in the direction of other information or resources i could use to find this information, that would be just as helpful.

Thanks in advance for anybodys help.
