Not exercising very hard though... I went & got some hard figures...
400W is a bit on the high side, but not anywhere near exercising hard...

The figures from
http://web.media.mit.edu/~testarne/TR328/node1.html#tabhumanpower give
the following

sleeping 70 kCal/hr 81W
Sitting 100 116
Driving 140 163
Carpentry 230 268
Hiking 350 407
Swimming 500 698
Dist Run 900 1048
Sprinting 1400 1630

Personally I was surprised at the high figures for the sprinting... BUt
the hiking figure is almost exactly 400W (407). Considering the figures
were for people working (supposedly hard, they were students in a lab
400W per person without lighting, computers etc seems about right.

They're doing hiking in a lab?

...... or did you mean work in the sense of the physics definition of
it?
