How We Calculate Calories Burned for Paddleboarding in Vancouver
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Vancouver:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 6 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 6 for paddleboarding is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Vancouver's average temperature of 51°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
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.
