How We Calculate Calories Burned for Field Hockey in Seattle
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Seattle:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 7.8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 7.8 for field hockey is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Seattle's average temperature of 47°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Field hockey is an intense team sport played on grass or turf that requires constant running, rapid direction changes, and skilled stick work. Players maintain a crouched position while dribbling and passing, which heavily engages the lower back, core, and legs. The sport combines aerobic endurance from continuous movement with anaerobic bursts during sprints and defensive plays. Field hockey develops exceptional cardiovascular fitness, agility, and hand-eye coordination.
