How We Calculate Calories Burned for Cricket in Phoenix
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Phoenix:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 5 for cricket is based on the Compendium of Physical Activities: where the Compendium has a matching row Calorique uses it, and for activities without a dedicated row (for example branded or mixed workouts) the value is Calorique's closest-row planning estimate. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Phoenix's average temperature of 75°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport involving batting, bowling, and fielding, played by two teams of eleven players. The physical demands vary by position, fast bowlers run repeatedly and generate significant upper body power, batsmen combine sprinting between wickets with powerful hitting, and fielders perform explosive sprints and diving catches. A typical cricket match involves extended periods of moderate activity interspersed with bursts of high-intensity effort, providing both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.
