Enter your weight and the duration of your paddle boarding session into the calculator to estimate the number of calories you have burned.
Paddle Boarding Calories Burned Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned while paddle boarding is as follows:
Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200) * time in minutes
Variables:
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 6 for paddle boarding.
- Weight is the person’s weight in pounds (to convert to kilograms, divide by 2.2).
- Time is the duration of the paddle boarding session in minutes.
To use the formula, first convert your weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.2. Then, multiply the MET value for paddle boarding by 3.5 and your weight in kilograms. Divide this result by 200 and then multiply by the duration of your paddle boarding session in minutes to find the total calories burned.
What is Paddle Boarding?
Paddle boarding is a water sport where the participant stands on a board similar to a surfboard and uses a paddle to move through the water. It is a full-body workout that can improve balance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. The number of calories burned during paddle boarding can vary based on factors such as the intensity of the workout, the participant’s weight, and the duration of the activity.
How to Calculate Calories Burned Paddle Boarding?
Follow these steps to calculate the calories burned during paddle boarding:
- Enter your weight in pounds.
- Enter the duration of your paddle boarding session in minutes.
- Use the provided formula or the calculator above to estimate the calories burned.
Example Problem:
Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you go paddle boarding for 30 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:
First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 lbs / 2.2 = 68.18 kg
Then, use the formula with a MET value of 6 for paddle boarding:
Calories Burned = ((6 * 3.5 * 68.18 kg) / 200) * 30 min = 214.54 calories
