How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Sport = 1, Intensity Level = 2, Body weight (lbs) = 170, Duration (minutes) = 60 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Calories burned
    Calories burned = round(met * bodyWeightKg * durationHrs)
    540 = 540
  3. Calculate Calories per minute
    Calories per minute = round((caloriesBurned / durationMin) * 10) / 10
    9 = 9
  4. Calculate Weekly calories
    Weekly calories = round(caloriesBurned * sessionsPerWeek)
    1620 = 1620
