Calories Burned Playing Squash Calculator

Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned while playing squash is:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \frac{\text{METs} \times 3.5 \times \text{weight in kg}}{200} \times \text{duration in minutes} \]

Where:

\(\text{METs}\) is the metabolic equivalent of task for playing squash (7.3 METs)
\(\text{weight}\) is the body weight of the person playing squash (in kilograms)
\(\text{duration}\) is the time spent playing squash (in minutes)

What Does the Calculator Tell You?

This calculator provides an estimate of the total calories burned during a squash session. It takes into account the intensity of playing squash and the individual’s body weight to give a personalized result. This information can be useful for those monitoring their energy expenditure for weight management or training purposes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Body Weight = 70 kg
Duration = 30 minutes

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \frac{7.3 \times 3.5 \times 70}{200} \times 30 \approx 269.85 \, \text{kcal} \]

The estimated calories burned is approximately 269.85 kcal.
