How We Calculate Calories Burned for Ice Hockey in Atlanta
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Atlanta:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 8 for ice hockey is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Atlanta's average temperature of 63°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Ice hockey is a fast-paced sport that combines skating speed with physical contact and stick handling. The skating motion builds exceptional lower body strength and cardiovascular endurance, while stick handling and shooting develop upper body coordination and power. Hockey players alternate between explosive shifts of 45-90 seconds and brief recovery periods, creating a natural high-intensity interval training effect. The sport builds agility, balance, reaction time, and overall athletic conditioning.
