How Calorie Burn Is Calculated
Most Efficient Exercises for Calorie Burn

O Cálculo

Calorias = MET × peso (kg) × duração (horas). Corrida a 8 km/h (7 METs) × 75 kg × 1h = 525 cal. Caminhada rápida (3,5 METs) × 75 kg × 1h = 263 cal. A melhor atividade para queimar calorias é aquela que você faz regularmente — consistência supera intensidade.

Por Atividade (75 kg, 1h)

Corrida (8 km/h): 525. Natação moderada: 450. Ciclismo (20 km/h): 525. HIIT: 600-800. Yoga: 200-300. Caminhada rápida: 260. Musculação: 300-400. Futebol (pelada): 500-700 — a atividade favorita do Brasil é também uma das que mais queima.

⚡ 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.
