"number of breaths when performing kirikaeshi..."

2. 1 for each of the first 2 big men-cuts.

I've started cycling a fair bit and bought a heartrate monitor for that purpose and have been thinking about wearing it for kendo.
(I can upload the data to my computer to see how it fluctuates during the exercise).
I would say, though, that kendo is more like a large interval exercise and the main exercises takes place above the anaerobic threshold, relying on the short term energy stored in your muscles rather than the longterm energy stored in the fat. (which cyclist and long distance runners rely on).
My guess is that kendo won't burn as many calories as going cycling/running/swimming whilst keeping it just below the lactate threshold.
