Heart Rate Calorie Calculator

Calculate calories burned based on your heart rate during exercise

Please enter a valid age (10-100)
Please select your gender
Please enter a valid weight (30-300 kg)
Please enter a valid heart rate (40-220 BPM)
Please enter a valid duration (1-600 minutes)
Please enter a valid year (2020-2030)
Please enter a valid temperature (-10 to 50°C)
Please enter a valid altitude (0-5000m)

Results

Based on your input, you burned approximately:

0 calories

This calculation is based on the American College of Sports Medicine formula.

Understanding Your Results

Your calorie burn is calculated using your heart rate, which is a reliable indicator of exercise intensity. Higher heart rates generally correlate with higher calorie expenditure.

Remember that individual results may vary based on factors like metabolism, body composition, and exercise efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this heart rate calorie calculator?

Our calculator uses scientifically validated formulas from organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine. While it provides a good estimate, individual variations in metabolism and physiology mean actual calorie burn may differ by 10-20%.

Why does gender affect calorie calculation?

Men and women typically have different body compositions and metabolic rates. Men generally have more muscle mass and higher metabolic rates, leading to slightly higher calorie burn during equivalent exercise.

How does heart rate relate to calorie burn?

Heart rate correlates with oxygen consumption, which directly relates to energy expenditure. As your heart works harder to deliver oxygen to muscles, your body burns more calories to produce energy.

Can I use this calculator for any type of exercise?

Yes, the calculator works for various cardiovascular exercises. We’ve included exercise-specific adjustments for activities like running, cycling, and swimming to improve accuracy.

What is the model year option for?

The model year allows you to specify which version of calculation standards to use. Newer years incorporate the latest research findings in exercise physiology.
