The MET value of 7 for roller 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.
Roller skating is a fun cardiovascular workout that builds lower body strength, balance, and coordination. The gliding motion on wheels engages the glutes, quadriceps, and inner thigh muscles while providing a low-impact alternative to running. Whether skating outdoors on trails, at a rink, or commuting on inline skates, roller skating develops proprioception, ankle stability, and endurance. It is suitable for all fitness levels and burns calories comparable to cycling or brisk jogging.
