how much calories do you burn from sprinting 100 meters with 6 sets of it

a lot

you should only sprint about 300m per session though, not 600m

I would say that net caloric burn would be largely dependent on intensity and the length of your rest periods.

As far as I am aware, the majority (or at least some significant amount) of the calorie burn will take place after the session.

As for how many calories and for how long the burn and metabolism boost continues, there is much debate and I don't have any solid figures to cite unfortunately.

knowledge of the science behind it is seriously lacking, I just enjoy reaping the benefits of sprint sessions...
