Formula
Calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) / 200. Total = Calories/min × minutes. Net = (MET - 1) × 3.5 × weight × min / 200.
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a standardized measure of exercise intensity. 1 MET = resting metabolic rate. The formula estimates oxygen consumption and converts to calories.
