Calories Burned

0.00 kcal

Calculation Formula

Calories = (MET × weight in kg × duration in hours)

Where:
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task): A unit that estimates the energy cost of physical activities.
- Low intensity: ~3.0 METs
- Medium intensity: ~5.0 METs
- High intensity: ~7.0 METs

Additional Information

Playing badminton is a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness, agility, and coordination. The more intense your play and the longer you play, the more calories you will burn.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg).
  2. Specify the duration of your badminton play in minutes.
  3. Select the intensity level that best describes your play:
    • Low intensity: Light activity, occasional movement, mostly standing or walking.
    • Medium intensity: Consistent movement, moderate effort, active playing with breaks.
    • High intensity: Intense activity, constant movement, vigorous playing without breaks.

Understanding the Calculation

This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) method to estimate calories burned. MET is a unit that represents the energy cost of physical activities. It's calculated as the ratio of the metabolic rate for an activity to the metabolic rate at rest.

The formula used is: Calories = MET × weight in kg × duration in hours

For example, if you weigh 70 kg, play badminton for 60 minutes (1 hour) at a medium intensity (5.0 METs), you would burn approximately: 70 kg × 5.0 METs × 1 hour = 350 calories

Important Notes
