How We Calculate Calories Burned for Tennis 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
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 8 for tennis 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.
Singles tennis is a demanding sport that combines cardiovascular endurance with explosive power, agility, and strategy. Players cover significant distances during a match through sprints, lateral movements, and recovery jogs. The repetitive swinging motion builds upper body and core strength, while the constant court movement develops lower body fitness. Tennis is unique in that it provides both aerobic and anaerobic exercise within a single session, making it exceptionally effective for overall fitness.
