Calories Burned Cycling
Calories burned cycling depend on rider weight, speed, terrain, and wind resistance. Cycling is generally more efficient than running — you cover more distance per calorie — making it excellent for low-impact cardiovascular fitness.
- 1MET values: leisure cycling (16 km/h) = 6.8, moderate (19–22 km/h) = 8.0, vigorous (22–26 km/h) = 10.0
- 2kcal = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours)
- 3Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed — cycling faster than 25 km/h burns significantly more
75kg rider, 1 hour at moderate pace (20 km/h)=~600 kcalMET 8.0 × 75 × 1.0 = 600 kcal
80kg rider, 30 min at leisure pace=~272 kcalMET 6.8 × 80 × 0.5 = 272 kcal
