Squat Jump Calories Burned Calculator

What are Squat Jumps?

Squat jumps are a high-intensity plyometric exercise that involves squatting down and then explosively jumping into the air. This exercise is often used to build strength, power, and endurance in the lower body. It also increases heart rate, which can lead to a high calorie burn.

Formula

The formula to calculate the calories burned during squat jumps is:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{\text{MET} \times \text{Weight in kg} \times 3.5}{200} \right) \times \text{Duration in minutes} \]

Where:

\( \text{MET} \) is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 8.0 for squat jumps.
\( \text{Weight} \) is the body weight in kilograms (kg).
\( \text{Duration} \) is the time spent performing squat jumps in minutes.

Example

Let's say the weight is 70 kg and the duration is 30 minutes. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{8.0 \times 70 \times 3.5}{200} \right) \times 30 \approx 294 \text{ kcal} \]

So, the calories burned during 30 minutes of squat jumps for a person weighing 70 kg is approximately 294 kcal.
