Calculate Your Kayaking Calories 🔢

Kayaking Calorie Formula

Calories/minute = (MET × weight in kg × 3.5) ÷ 200

Understand the Components:

• MET (Metabolic Equivalent): Energy cost of kayaking (varies by intensity)
• Weight in kg: Your body weight in kilograms
• 3.5: Standard oxygen consumption at rest
• 200: Conversion factor for calories

Example Calculation:

For a 70kg person kayaking at moderate intensity (6.0 METs):

1. Formula: (6.0 × 70 × 3.5) ÷ 200
2. Step 1: 6.0 × 70 = 420
3. Step 2: 420 × 3.5 = 1,470
4. Step 3: 1,470 ÷ 200 = 7.35

Result: ≈ 7.4 calories per minute

For a 60-minute session: 7.4 × 60 = 444 calories
