HOW TO CALCULATE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING

Getting to know the energy consumption generated by our body in every training session is a fundamental aspect in order to be able to adapt our diet to our needs. Knowing the energy expenditure that our body generates in each workout is a fundamental aspect to be able to adapt our diet to our needs.

The only thing we need to know is:

Ø Distance walked/run (for example: 10 km)

Ø Time (for example: 45min)

Ø Weight (for example 70kg)

1st Calculate the speed in meters per minute (S = space / time):

S = 10.000m / 45min = 222m/min

2nd Look for the energy consumption which corresponds to our speed in the table below:

3rd Multiply the value indicated in the table by our weight.

1’026 x 70 = 71’82 Kcal/km

4th Finally, multiply the resultant value by the kilometres we’ve walked/run:

71’82 x 10 = 718’2 Kcal
