How We Calculate Calories Burned for Cycling in Newark
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Newark:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 8 for cycling is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Newark's average temperature of 52°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Cycling at a moderate pace of 12-14 mph provides an excellent low-impact cardiovascular workout. It is easier on the joints than running while still delivering significant calorie burn and leg strength development. Cycling can be done outdoors on roads or trails, or indoors on a stationary bike. Regular cycling improves heart health, builds leg muscle endurance, and can be integrated into daily commuting for effortless exercise.
