Calories Burned:
Understanding Calories Burned
Body Mass
A larger body mass requires more energy for movement, resulting in more calories burned during the same activity.
Exercise Duration
Longer duration of exercise leads to more calories burned, though intensity plays a crucial role.
Exercise Intensity
Higher intensity activities burn more calories per minute than lower intensity activities.
Understanding MET
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures the energy cost of physical activities. 1 MET equals the energy used while sitting quietly.
Light Intensity
2.0 MET
Slow Walking
Moderate Intensity
5.0 MET
Tennis Doubles
Vigorous Intensity
11.0 MET
Jump Rope
Calculation Formula
Calories = (Time × MET × Weight) / 200
Where:time is in minutes
weight is in kilograms
Additional Factors
Age
Body Composition
Temperature
Fitness Level
Note on Accuracy
Results are estimates based on standardized data and may vary based on individual factors. For precise measurements, laboratory testing would be required.
Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator provides estimates based on standardized MET (Metabolic Equivalent) values. Individual results may vary based on factors like fitness level, terrain, and weather conditions.
MET (Metabolic Equivalent) is a measure of the energy cost of physical activities. One MET equals the energy expended while sitting quietly.
Body weight affects the amount of energy required to perform activities. A higher body weight generally results in more calories burned during the same activity.
Use the calculator to estimate calorie burn from activities, but remember that weight loss requires a combination of exercise and proper nutrition. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
