How We Calculate Calories Burned for Beach Volleyball in Huntington Beach
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Huntington Beach:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 8 for beach volleyball is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Huntington Beach's average temperature of 66°F.

Beach volleyball is an intense full-body sport that combines cardiovascular endurance, explosive power, and agility. Playing on sand significantly increases the physical demands compared to indoor volleyball, as the unstable surface requires more energy for every movement. Jumping, diving, spiking, and lateral movements in sand provide an exceptional lower body and core workout. Beach volleyball also develops hand-eye coordination, teamwork, and mental focus under physical exertion.
