How We Calculate Calories Burned for Box Jumps in Albuquerque
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Albuquerque:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 8 for box jumps is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Albuquerque's average temperature of 57°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Box jumps are a plyometric exercise where you explosively jump from the ground onto an elevated platform (box) and then step or jump back down. This movement develops explosive lower body power, fast-twitch muscle fibers, and cardiovascular conditioning simultaneously. Box jumps are a cornerstone of athletic training programs because they improve vertical leap, sprint speed, and overall leg power. The exercise also burns significant calories due to the high muscular demand of repeated explosive movements.
