How Many Calories Do You Burn Skiing
Different speeds of skiing have different MET, the more vigorous exercise, the greater MET value,
and the more calories burned.
To calculate how many calories you burn skiing, first, we need to know the MET value for skiing.
Choose your ski speed and ski time to calculate the calories burned.
Our calories burned skiing calculator has included different types of skiing.
Skiing, general
- MET value of 7
Skiing, cross country, 2.5 mph, slow or light effort, ski walking
- MET value of 6.8
Skiing, cross country, 4.0-4.9 mph, moderate speed and effort, general
- MET value of 9
Skiing, cross country, 5.0-7.9 mph, brisk speed, vigorous effort
- MET value of 12.5
Skiing, cross country, hard snow, uphill, maximum, snow mountaineering
- MET value of 15.5
Skiing, cross-country, skating
- MET value of 13.3
Skiing, cross-country, biathlon, skating technique
- MET value of 13.5
Skiing, downhill, alpine or snowboarding, light effort, active time only
- MET value of 4.3
Skiing, downhill, alpine or snowboarding, moderate effort, general, active time only
- MET value of 5.3
Skiing, downhill, vigorous effort, racing
- MET value of 8
Skiing, roller, elite racers
- MET value of 12.5
Then we use the following formula:
MET x Body Weight x 3.5 / 200 x time, where
Body weight unit = kg
Time unit = minutes
1 hour Skiing Calories
General skiing has a MET value of 7,
therefore 1 hour of skiing calories burned about 400 kcal to 600 kcal for a person who weighs 120 pounds(54.43 kg)
to 180 pounds (81.65 kg).
The calculation is:
7 (MET) x 54.43 kg x 3.5 / 200 x 60 minutes = 400 kcal.
7 (MET) x 81.65 kg x 3.5 / 200 x 60 minutes = 600 kcal.
