Calculateur de Calories Brûlées en Cyclisme — Formule

How Cycling Calorie Burn Is Estimated

Formula

Calories = MET x Weight (kg) x Duration (hours)

The MET for cycling depends on intensity/speed. A simplified model:

MET = 3.5 + 0.45 x Speed (mph)

This gives approximately MET 6.8 at 10 mph (leisure) and MET 10.6 at 16 mph (vigorous).

Factors

Actual burn depends on terrain, wind, bike type, and rider efficiency. Hills and headwinds increase calorie burn significantly.

Exemple Résolu

A 160 lb cyclist rides at 14 mph for 60 minutes.

  1. Weight = 160 * 0.4536 = 72.57 kg
  2. Duration = 60 / 60 = 1 hour
  3. MET = 3.5 + 0.45 * 14 = 9.8
  4. Calories = 9.8 * 72.57 * 1 = 711 kcal
  5. Distance = 14 * 1 = 14 miles
