How to Calculate Calories Burned While Jumping Rope

Calculating the calories burned during jump rope exercises involves considering several factors, including your weight, the intensity of the exercise, and its duration. This calculation provides an estimate of energy expenditure during your jump rope workout.

Calories Burned Jumping Rope Formula

The formula used to calculate calories burned while jumping rope is:

$$\text{Calories Burned} = \frac{\text{MET} \times 3.5 \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times \text{Duration (minutes)}}{200}$$

Where:

• MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task): A measure of jump rope intensity relative to resting metabolism
• 3.5: A constant representing the average resting oxygen consumption in mL/kg/min
• Weight: Your body weight in kilograms
• Duration: The time spent jumping rope in minutes
• 200: A conversion factor to adjust the result to calories

Calculation Steps

1. Determine your weight in kilograms.
2. Select the appropriate MET value based on the jump rope intensity.
3. Input the duration of your jump rope session in minutes.
4. Apply the formula to calculate calories burned.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the calories burned for a person with the following details:

• Weight: 70 kg
• Jump Rope Intensity: Moderate (MET = 11.8)
• Duration: 15 minutes

Step 1: Apply the formula

$$\begin{align} \text{Calories Burned} &= \frac{11.8 \times 3.5 \times 70 \times 15}{200} \\ &= \frac{4347}{200} \\ &= 217.35 \text{ calories} \end{align}$$

Therefore, this person burns approximately 217 calories during their 15-minute moderate intensity jump rope session.

Visual Representation

This bar chart compares the calories burned during a 15-minute session of various activities for a person weighing 70 kg. It visually demonstrates how different jump rope intensities and other activities can lead to varying levels of calorie burn, with jump rope generally resulting in higher calorie expenditure compared to walking or jogging.
