Calculation Formula

Calories = (MET × Weight × Time) / 200

Where:
MET = Metabolic Equivalent of Task (varies by surface)
Weight = Body weight in kg
Time = Duration in hours

MET Values by Surface

  • Concrete: 8.0 METs
  • Grass: 7.0 METs

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg)
  2. Input the distance you pushed the sled in meters (m)
  3. Record the time it took to complete the distance in seconds (s)
  4. Select the surface type on which you performed the sled push
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated calorie burn

Understanding the calculation

This calculator uses the formula based on MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values. MET is a way to measure the energy cost of physical activities. One MET is equivalent to the energy it takes to sit quietly for an hour.

The formula used is: Calories = (MET × Weight × Time) / 200, where:

  • MET: Varies based on the surface you're pushing on (higher resistance surfaces like snow have higher MET values)
  • Weight: Your body weight in kilograms
  • Time: Duration of the activity in hours

Important considerations

This is an estimated calculation and actual calorie burn may vary based on individual factors such as fitness level, technique, and variations in effort. The calculator provides a reasonable estimate for comparison purposes.

For more accurate tracking of your fitness progress, consider using a heart rate monitor alongside this calculator. Higher intensity activities typically result in higher calorie burn.
