How it works
- Calories are calculated with the formula 'METs x body weight (kg) x duration (hours) x 1.05'. Enter the duration in minutes; it is converted to hours internally.
- The METs for each gait are walk 3.8, trot 5.8, and gallop 7.3. These are representative values based on compendium of physical activity METs tables.
- The result also shows reference equivalents using about 234 kcal per bowl of rice and about 7.2 kcal per gram of body fat.
- Even for the same gait, the actual intensity varies with balance, posture, and the rider's skill level.
- METs are only representative values; calorie expenditure varies by age, build, and basal metabolism. Use the displayed figures as a guideline.
- For strict calorie management or decisions affecting your health or weight, consult a professional or a medical institution.
