Most Efficient Exercises for Calorie Burn

Berechnung

Kalorien = MET x Gewicht (kg) x Dauer (h). Joggen 8 km/h (7 METs) x 75 kg x 1h = 525 kcal. Radfahren 20 km/h: 525. Schwimmen moderat: 450. HIIT: 600-800. Die beste Aktivitaet zum Kalorienverbrennen ist die, die Sie regelmaessig machen.

Pro Aktivitaet (75 kg, 1h)

Joggen: 525. Radfahren: 525. Schwimmen: 450. Krafttraining: 300-400. Wandern: 350-450. Fussball: 500-700. Wandern ist in Deutschland die beliebteste Outdoor-Aktivitaet — der Deutsche Wanderverband hat 600.000 Mitglieder.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, or "afterburn") adds 6-15% extra calories after vigorous exercise. HIIT and heavy weight training create the largest afterburn effect — up to 24 hours of elevated calorie burn. Steady-state cardio has minimal afterburn effect.
