Estimate calories on a self-powered curved treadmill using current curved-treadmill-specific walking and running activity values.
How the Curved Treadmill Calorie Calculator Works
The calculator maps the selected documented curved-treadmill pace band to its 2024 Compendium activity value and applies the standard MET equation. Exact speed is optional and changes only the distance estimate.
Formula: gross kcal = curved-treadmill MET x 3.5 x body weight in kg / 200 x minutes
What the Results Show
Results include gross and active calories, hourly rate, MET-minutes, the selected pace band, duration, and optional distance.
Why This Calculator Is Different
It uses current curved-treadmill-specific activity codes instead of multiplying an ordinary treadmill estimate by a fixed marketing percentage.
Assumptions and Limitations
The current table has no curved-treadmill code for 6.0 through 6.9 mph, so that band is deliberately absent. Individual technique and treadmill design still affect actual cost.
