Kickboxing Calories Calculator

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg)
2. Input the duration of your kickboxing session in minutes
3. Select your intensity level:
   • Light: Slow pace, basic techniques, warming up
   • Moderate: Average pace, combination techniques, regular training
   • High: Intense pace, complex combinations, sparring or heavy bag work
4. Enter your age (years)
5. Click the "Calculate" button to estimate calories burned

Understanding the Results

The calculator uses the following formula based on MET values:

Calories = (MET × weight × duration) / 200

Where MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which represents the energy cost of physical activities.

Important Notes

• This calculator provides estimates based on average values. Actual calorie burn may vary based on individual factors.
• The age adjustment is a simplified model. More accurate predictions would use age-specific regression equations.
• For the most accurate calorie tracking, consider using a heart rate monitor or fitness tracker that calculates calories in real-time.
• Remember that these calculations don't account for other factors such as environmental conditions, equipment used, or individual metabolic differences.

Example Usage

For a 70 kg person who weighs 150 lbs (approx 68 kg), does a 30-minute moderate kickboxing session, and is 30 years old:

Calories burned: (4.0 MET × 70 kg × 30 min) / 200 = 42 kcal

This is a rough estimate - actual calorie burn might be slightly higher or lower based on the specific intensity of the session.
