How We Calculate Calories Burned for Paddleboarding in Omaha
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Omaha:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 6 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 6 for paddleboarding is based on the Compendium of Physical Activities: where the Compendium has a matching row Calorique uses it, and for activities without a dedicated row (for example branded or mixed workouts) the value is Calorique's closest-row planning estimate. The climate factor of 1.03 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Omaha's average temperature of 51°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a full-body water sport that combines balance, core strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Standing on a large surfboard while paddling engages virtually every muscle group, with particular emphasis on the core muscles that constantly work to maintain balance. SUP can be enjoyed as a leisurely activity on calm water or as an intense workout in waves or during SUP racing. It is one of the fastest-growing water sports due to its accessibility and complete workout benefits.
