Calories Burned: 0 kcal
The Calories Burned Tabata Calculator helps you estimate the number of calories burned during Tabata workouts. Tabata is a specific type of HIIT workout characterized by short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. This format is designed to maximize calorie burn in a shorter time frame, making it a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts.
Understanding how many calories you burn can help you tailor your workouts and dietary choices, leading to more effective weight management and fitness improvements. With the calculator, you input your weight and workout duration, and it computes the calories burned based on established metabolic equivalents (METs).
Formula of Calories Burned Tabata Calculator
The formula for calculating calories burned during Tabata workouts is straightforward:
Calories Burned = MET Value × Weight in Kilograms × Duration in Hours
MET Value for Tabata:
- Tabata (high-intensity interval training): MET = 13.5
This means that for every kilogram of body weight, a person burns calories equivalent to 13.5 times their weight for each hour of exercise performed at this intensity.
Table of MET Values for Common Exercises
| Activity | MET Value |
|---|---|
| Tabata (HIIT) | 13.5 |
| Running (6 mph) | 9.8 |
| Cycling (12-14 mph) | 8.0 |
| Swimming (moderate pace) | 7.0 |
| Walking (3.5 mph) | 3.8 |
This table serves as a quick reference for various activities, providing insights into how different exercises compare in terms of calorie expenditure.
Example of Calories Burned Tabata Calculator
Let’s look at a simple example of using the Calories Burned Tabata Calculator.
- Weight: 70 kilograms
- Duration: 20 minutes
First, convert the duration from minutes to hours:
Duration in Hours = 20 ÷ 60 = 0.33 hours
Now, use the formula:
Calories Burned = 13.5 × 70 × 0.33 = 313.5 kcal
So, someone weighing 70 kg would burn approximately 313.5 calories in a 20-minute Tabata workout.
