Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 8 for beach volleyball is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Idaho Falls's average temperature of 47°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
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.
