Enter your weight and the duration of rollerblading into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned. This tool helps you to track the energy expenditure during your rollerblading sessions.

Rollerblading Calories Burned Formula

The formula used to calculate the calories burned while rollerblading is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for rollerblading and the individual’s body weight.

Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * 3.5 / 200) * Time in minutes

Variables:

  • MET is the metabolic equivalent of task for rollerblading (7.0 for general rollerblading)
  • Weight is the body weight of the person rollerblading (in kilograms)
  • Time is the duration of the rollerblading activity (in minutes)

To calculate the calories burned, first convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply the MET value by the weight in kilograms and by 3.5, divide by 200, and finally multiply by the time in minutes.

What is MET?

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a unit that estimates the amount of energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. One MET is defined as the energy cost of sitting quietly, and is equivalent to a caloric consumption of 1 kcal/kg/hour. Activities can be classified by their MET values, which indicate how many times more energy is used compared to resting. Rollerblading has a MET value of 7.0, indicating it is a moderate to vigorous activity.

How to Calculate Calories Burned Rollerblading?

The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned while rollerblading.

  1. First, determine your weight in pounds.
  2. Next, determine the duration of your rollerblading session in minutes.
  3. Convert your weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.20462.
  4. Use the formula provided above to calculate the calories burned.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
