Enter your weight and the duration of your squat jumps into the calculator to estimate the calories you have burned. This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for squat jumps to calculate the calories burned.
Squat Jump Calories Burned Formula
The formula used to calculate the calories burned during squat jumps is:
Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * 3.5 / 200) * Duration in minutes
Variables:
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 8.0 for squat jumps.
- Weight is the body weight in kilograms (kg).
- Duration is the time spent performing squat jumps 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 duration in minutes.
What are Squat Jumps?
Squat jumps are a high-intensity plyometric exercise that involves squatting down and then explosively jumping into the air. This exercise is often used to build strength, power, and endurance in the lower body. It also increases heart rate, which can lead to a high calorie burn.
How to Calculate Calories Burned During Squat Jumps?
Follow these steps to calculate the calories burned during squat jumps:
- Enter your weight in pounds.
- Enter the duration of your squat jumps in minutes.
- Use the provided formula to calculate the calories burned.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the result.
- Use the “Reset” button to clear the fields and perform a new calculation.
Example Problem:
Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you perform squat jumps for 10 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:
First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 pounds * 0.453592 = 68 kg
Then, use the formula with the MET value for squat jumps:
Calories Burned = (8.0 * 68 kg * 3.5 / 200) * 10 minutes = 95.2 calories
