Calculate Calorie Consumption while Cycling

A calculator for the calories burned when cycling at a certain heart rate. Of course, the frequency changes frequently while riding a bicycle. Here you should specify an approximate average, for example 120 at medium intensity.



Age: years
Weight: kilograms
Time: minutes
Heart rate: beats per minute
Energy consumption: kilocalories

The formulas for the calculation are:
Men: [(age * 0,074) - (weight * 0,05741) + (heart rate * 0,4472) - 20,4022] * time / 4,184
Women: [(age * 0,2017) - (weight * 0,09036) + (heart rate * 0,6309) - 55,0969] * time / 4,184
Age in years, weight in kilograms, time in minutes. This calculation is only an estimation.

Example: a 50 years old man weighing 86 kilograms who rides a bicycle for one hour (60 minutes) with a pulse rate of 120 consumes almost 330 kilocalories. A woman with these values ​​would burn 459 kilocalories.

The difference in calorie consumption between women and men is mainly due to the fact that they both have a different body composition. Muscle and fat are distributed differently. The generally lower muscle mass in women leads to less efficient work, which increases calorie consumption. The formulas on which this calculation is based are of course only approximate formulas; the calculated values ​​should not be seen as exact values.

Cycling is one of many good methods of training. Whether you cycle or choose another training method ultimately depends primarily on your own preferences. If you do what you like, it is much easier to motivate yourself and train regularly. If you like cycling, then you should do that; otherwise, find something else. When cycling, it is important that there are safe routes available; if possible, avoid busy roads because of the bad air caused by combustion engines. A bicycle helmet is recommended.
