Calculadora de Calorias Queimadas no Ciclismo — Formula
## 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.

Exemplo Resolvido
A 160 lb cyclist rides at 14 mph for 60 minutes.
- Weight = 160 * 0.4536 = 72.57 kg
- Duration = 60 / 60 = 1 hour
- MET = 3.5 + 0.45 * 14 = 9.8
- Calories = 9.8 * 72.57 * 1 = 711 kcal
- Distance = 14 * 1 = 14 miles
