How We Calculate Calories Burned for Kayaking in Oklahoma City
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Oklahoma City:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 5 for kayaking is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Oklahoma City'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.
Kayaking is a full-body water sport that builds upper body and core strength while providing moderate cardiovascular exercise. Paddling engages the back, shoulders, arms, and core muscles in a rhythmic motion. Kayaking can be enjoyed on lakes, rivers, and oceans, making it both a recreational and competitive activity. The resistance of water against the paddle creates continuous muscle engagement, while the balance required activates stabilizer muscles throughout the body.
