How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your weight in kilograms (kg)
- Input your age in years
- Specify how long you plan to play billiards (in minutes)
- Select your intensity level (Low, Medium, or High) based on how actively you play
- Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated calorie burn
Understanding Intensity Levels
- Low (Casual Play): Gentle movements, minimal walking around the table
- Medium (Moderate Play): Some walking between shots, moderate focus, consistent gameplay
- High (Active Play): Frequent walking, active competition, high concentration
How Accurate Is This Calculator?
This calculator provides an estimate based on MET values. Actual calorie burn may vary based on:
- Individual metabolic rate
- Actual movement patterns during play
- Environmental conditions (like temperature)
- Specific billiards game style (8-ball, 9-ball, etc.)
Example Calculation
For a 70 kg person aged 30 playing billiards for 60 minutes at a medium intensity:
Calories = (4.5 MET × 70 kg × 1 hour) / 200 = 1.575 kcal/hour
So approximately 15.8 calories would be burned per minute, totaling about 95 calories for 60 minutes.
