How We Calculate Calories Burned for Disc Golf 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

The MET value of 3.5 for disc golf is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Albuquerque's average temperature of 57°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Disc golf involves throwing a flying disc into metal baskets across a course of 9 or 18 holes, similar to traditional golf but more accessible and affordable. Players walk the course carrying their discs, covering 1-3 miles per round over varied terrain including hills and wooded paths. The throwing motion engages the core, shoulders, and hips through a rotational power movement. Disc golf provides a relaxing outdoor workout that combines cardiovascular benefits from walking with upper body engagement from throwing.
