Boxing Calories Formula
The calculator uses a simple activity factor based on your body weight and boxing style. In Basic mode, use your active boxing minutes.
BC = BW \times M \times F
Advanced mode also adds calories burned during rest between rounds.
BC = BW \times [(AM \times F) + (RM \times 0.0143)]
Variables:
- BC = calories burned
- BW = body weight (lb)
- M = active boxing minutes
- AM = active minutes from rounds × minutes per round
- RM = rest minutes between rounds
- F = boxing factor: 0.0476 for light drills, 0.0675 for heavy bag or mitt work, 0.1016 for sparring or very hard boxing
