The MET value of 4.3 for golf is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for New York's average temperature of 49°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Golf while walking and carrying clubs provides a moderate cardiovascular workout over 4-5 hours. A typical 18-hole round involves walking 4-6 miles across varied terrain. The golf swing itself engages the core, shoulders, back, and hips in a powerful rotational movement. While often seen as a low-intensity activity, the total calorie burn from a full round of golf is substantial due to the extended duration and distance covered. Golf also provides mental stimulation, social interaction, and time spent outdoors.
