How We Calculate Calories Burned for Ice Skating 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
= 7 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 7 for ice skating 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.
Ice skating is an excellent cardiovascular and lower body workout that burns significant calories while being gentle on joints. The gliding motion works the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and hip abductors while the balance requirement engages core muscles throughout. Ice skating improves coordination, balance, and proprioception. Whether recreational skating at a rink or speed skating, the activity provides a fun alternative to traditional cardio exercises during winter months.
