How We Calculate Calories Burned for Archery in Ontario
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Ontario:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 3.5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 3.5 for archery is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Ontario's average temperature of 61°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Archery involves drawing, aiming, and releasing arrows at a target, requiring significant upper body strength, core stability, and mental focus. Drawing a recurve or compound bow repeatedly works the back, shoulders, and arms with each shot. Competitive archers may shoot hundreds of arrows per session while walking back and forth to retrieve them. The sport develops remarkable shoulder stability, grip strength, and the ability to control breathing under pressure.
