Jogging Calories Equation:
From: | To: |
The jogging calories equation estimates the number of calories burned during jogging based on your weight, the MET value of jogging, and the time spent jogging. It provides a simple way to quantify energy expenditure during exercise.
The calculator uses the jogging calories equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation multiplies your weight by the intensity of the activity (MET) and the duration to estimate total calories burned.
Details: Calculating calories burned helps with weight management, exercise planning, and understanding energy expenditure for fitness goals.
Tips: Enter your weight in kg, the MET value (default is 7.0 for jogging), and time in hours. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a MET value?
A: MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a unit that represents the energy cost of physical activities. 1 MET equals the energy expended at rest.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a reasonable estimate but individual factors like fitness level, body composition, and running efficiency can affect actual calories burned.
Q3: Should I use kg or pounds?
A: The calculator uses kg. To convert pounds to kg, divide by 2.205.
Q4: Can I use this for other exercises?
A: Yes, by changing the MET value. Different activities have different MET values (e.g., walking = 3.5, running = 8+).
Q5: Why calculate in hours?
A: You can enter fractions of hours (e.g., 0.5 for 30 minutes) for more precise calculations.
