Electric Bike Calories Burned Calculator Running

Calories Burned Equation:

\[ \text{Calories (kcal)} = \text{Time (min)} \times \text{MET}_{\text{ebike}} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times 3.5 / 200 \]

vs Running:

\[ \text{Calories (kcal)} = \text{Time (min)} \times \text{MET}_{\text{running}} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times 3.5 / 200 \]

1. What is the Calories Burned Equation?

The calories burned equation estimates energy expenditure during physical activity using MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values, which represent the intensity of activities compared to resting metabolism.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equations:

\[ \text{Calories (kcal)} = \text{Time (min)} \times \text{MET}_{\text{ebike}} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times 3.5 / 200 \] \[ \text{Calories (kcal)} = \text{Time (min)} \times \text{MET}_{\text{running}} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times 3.5 / 200 \]

Where:

Time — Duration of activity in minutes
MET — Metabolic equivalent (dimensionless)
Weight — Body weight in kilograms
3.5/200 — Conversion factor to kcal

Explanation: The equation calculates energy expenditure by accounting for activity intensity (MET), duration, and body weight.

3. Importance of MET Values

Details: MET values are crucial for accurate calculations. Typical values: Electric biking (4-6 MET), Running (8-12 MET depending on speed).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter time in minutes, weight in kg, and appropriate MET values. Default values are provided for common activities.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a MET value?
A: MET is the ratio of working metabolic rate to resting metabolic rate. 1 MET = energy cost of sitting quietly.

Q2: How accurate are these calculations?
A: Estimates are reasonably accurate for general populations but vary based on individual factors like fitness level.

Q3: Why compare electric biking to running?
A: This shows how different activities with different intensities affect calorie expenditure over the same duration.

Q4: Should I use actual weight or lean body mass?
A: The equation uses total body weight as it affects energy expenditure during weight-bearing activities.

Q5: Can I use this for weight loss planning?
A: Yes, it can help estimate calorie deficits, but consult a professional for personalized plans.
