Ping Pong Calories Burned Calculator
🏓 Ping Pong Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate burn by weight, duration, match format, and rally intensity
📊How The Formula Works
MET calorie formula
Ping pong burn starts with MET, then scales by body weight and active minutes.
kcal = MET x 3.5 x kg / 200 x active minutes
Active time correction
Points, serves, and pauses are not equal. Lower active share means a lower total burn.
active minutes = duration x active share
Weight conversion
Enter pounds or kilograms. The calculator converts to kilograms before it computes calories.
kg = lb / 2.20462
