How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg). This is required to calculate the energy expenditure.

    • High: Intense playing with frequent running and fielding
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to estimate the calories burned.
  5. The calculator will display the total calories burned along with the MET value used in the calculation.

Understanding MET Values

The MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value represents the energy cost of physical activities. It estimates how much energy your body uses during exercise compared to when you are at rest. A MET of 1.0 is equivalent to 1 kcal/kg/hour of energy expenditure, which is the energy used by your body at rest.

Example Calculation

For example, if you weigh 70 kg, play baseball for 90 minutes (1.5 hours) at a medium intensity:

  • Weight: 70 kg
  • Duration: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours
  • Intensity (Medium): MET = 5.0
  • Calories burned = 5.0 × 70 kg × 1.5 hours = 525 kcal

Important Notes

This calculator provides an estimate of calories burned and actual values may vary based on individual factors such as age, fitness level, and specific playing conditions. The MET values used in this calculator are based on general estimates for baseball activities.
