Calories Burned (MET Activity)
Health & FitnessCalculate total calories burned during physical workouts and sports using Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) values, body weight, and exercise duration.
MET score: 9.8 · Burn rate ≈ 686 kcal/hr
About this calculator
The Compendium of Physical Activities assigns standardized MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to hundreds of physical exercises. One MET represents the energy expenditure of sitting quietly at rest (approximately 1 kcal per kg of body weight per hour).
This calculator computes total active caloric expenditure across sports like running, cycling, swimming, weightlifting, and rowing based on your exact body weight and exercise duration.
How It Works & Formula
Calories Burned = Duration (minutes) × (MET × 3.5 × Weight in kg) / 200, which evaluates net metabolic energy expenditure based on standard exercise physiology equations.
