The MET value of 3 for bowling is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for New Orleans's average temperature of 70°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Bowling is a low-impact recreational sport that involves rolling a heavy ball down a lane to knock over pins. While it may seem leisurely, bowling engages your arms, shoulders, and legs with each throw, and a typical game involves walking back and forth repeatedly. Competitive bowlers may play multiple games per session, accumulating a meaningful calorie burn over time. It also improves hand-eye coordination and can be a great social activity.
