1. What is the Skipping Calories Burned Calculator?

The Skipping Calories Burned Calculator estimates the number of calories burned during skipping (jump rope) exercise based on duration, intensity (MET value), and body weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard calories burned equation:

Where:

• \( Time \) — Duration of activity in hours
• \( MET \) — Metabolic Equivalent of Task (intensity measure)
• \( Weight \) — Body weight in kilograms

Explanation: The equation accounts for the energy expenditure based on activity duration, intensity, and the individual's body weight.

3. Importance of MET Values

Details: MET values represent exercise intensity. For skipping rope:

• Slow pace (~100 skips/min): ~8.8 MET
• Moderate pace (~120 skips/min): ~11.8 MET
• Fast pace (~140 skips/min): ~12.3 MET

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter time in hours (e.g., 0.5 for 30 minutes), select appropriate MET value for your skipping intensity, and your current weight in kg.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but individual results may vary based on metabolism, fitness level, and skipping technique.

Q2: Can I use minutes instead of hours?
A: Yes, just divide minutes by 60 (e.g., 30 minutes = 0.5 hours).

Q3: What if I don't know my exact MET value?
A: Use 11.8 for moderate intensity skipping as a general estimate.

Q4: Does this account for rest periods?
A: No, calculate only the actual time spent skipping for most accurate results.

Q5: How does weight affect calories burned?
A: Heavier individuals burn more calories for the same activity duration and intensity.
