In conclusion, jumping rope is a complete, effective and fun exercise that can bring many benefits to your health. However, as with any exercise, it’s important to start slowly and gradually increase intensity to avoid injury.
How to calculate the number of calories burned jumping rope
The result displayed is expressed in Kcal and is calculated from the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). The MET for each activity is the result of statistical data and cannot therefore be interpreted as an exact calculation, but rather as an estimate taking into account the MET value and the ratio between the time spent on an activity and the weight of the individual.
For example: the MET value for jumping rope at a moderate level is 7.5. This means that a person jumping rope at this pace consumes 7.5 times more energy than at rest.
MET values for different levels of jumping rope intensity
- Moderate jumping MET = 8.5
- Intense jumping MET = 11.5
Discover the detailed formula to calculate your daily energy expenditure while jumping rope
Consumption in Kcal per minute = (MET*3.5*Weight in kilos)/200
For a 60 kg person jumping rope for 30 minutes:
Kcal consumption per minute = (7.5*3.5*60)/200 = 7.875 Kcal/m
