Calories Burned Dancing Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the total number of calories burned dancing is:

\[ C = 800 \cdot \frac{IF \cdot T}{60} \]

Where:

\( C \) is the number of calories burned dancing.
\( IF \) is the intensity factor of the dancing.
\( T \) is the total number of minutes spent dancing.

Example

Let's say the intensity factor (IF) is 1.5 and the total time spent dancing (T) is 45 minutes. The calories burned would be calculated as follows:

\[ C = 800 \cdot \frac{1.5 \cdot 45}{60} = 900 \text{ kcal} \]

So, you would burn approximately 900 kcal.

What is the Intensity Factor (IF)?

The intensity factor (IF) represents the level of effort or energy expenditure during the dancing activity. Different types of dancing have different intensity factors, which can affect the total calories burned.
