Enter your weight and the duration of the sled push exercise into the calculator to estimate the calories burned. This tool helps you to quantify the energy expenditure of this specific workout.
Sled Push Calories Burned Formula
The formula used to estimate the calories burned during sled pushing is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for the activity:
Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200) * time in minutes
Variables:
- Calories Burned is the total calories burned during the sled push exercise
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 6.0 for sled pushing
- Weight is the body weight of the person performing the exercise in pounds (lbs)
- Time is the duration of the exercise in minutes
To use the calculator, input your weight in pounds and the duration of the sled push in minutes. The calculator will then estimate the total calories burned during the exercise.
What is Sled Pushing?
Sled pushing is a form of high-intensity exercise that involves pushing a weighted sled across a surface. It is commonly used in strength and conditioning programs to build power, strength, and endurance. The resistance of the sled combined with the pushing motion provides a full-body workout that can be very effective for burning calories and improving athletic performance.
How to Calculate Calories Burned During Sled Pushing?
The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned during sled pushing:
- First, determine your weight in pounds.
- Next, determine the duration of the sled push exercise in minutes.
- Use the formula provided above to calculate the calories burned.
- Finally, input your weight and the duration into the calculator to get an estimate of the calories burned.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Weight = 150 pounds
Duration of sled push = 30 minutes
