Understanding Baseball Activity MET Values

The calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to estimate energy expenditure. MET is a unit that represents the energy cost of physical activities. A MET of 1 is equivalent to resting quietly.

For baseball:

  • Light play (3.0 METs) burns approximately 3 calories per minute per kg of body weight
  • Moderate play (5.0 METs) burns approximately 5 calories per minute per kg of body weight
  • High play (7.0 METs) burns approximately 7 calories per minute per kg of body weight

Important Notes

  • This calculator provides an estimate based on average values. Actual calorie burn may vary based on individual factors such as skill level, fitness, and specific game conditions.
  • For more accurate measurements, consider wearing a fitness tracker that monitors heart rate and movement during play.
  • Baseball is a sport with varying intensity levels throughout a game, so these estimates represent the average energy expenditure over the specified duration.
