How to calculate the number of calories burned running on the treadmill
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 running on a treadmill (at an average pace of around 8km/h) is 8. This means that a person running on a treadmill at this pace consumes 8 times as much energy as they would at rest. Of course, this varies with the level of intensity, as we’ll see below. The more intensive the pace, the greater the expenditure!
MET values for different running intensity levels
- Treadmill running (8k/h) MET = 8
- Treadmill running (9.5k/h) MET = 10.5
- Treadmill running (13k/h) MET = 13
Discover the detailed formula to calculate your daily energy expenditure while running on the treadmill
Consumption in Kcal per minute = (MET*3.5*Weight in kilos)/200
This gives for a 60-kilo person running on a treadmill at 8km/h for 30 minutes:
Consumption in Kcal per minute = (8*3.5*60)/200 = 8.4 Kcal/min
So for 30 minutes = 8.4*30 = 252 kcal for 30 minutes
