Source & Accuracy Notes
This is a planning calculator. It uses the standard MET approach for estimated activity energy cost, then applies a small local climate adjustment for outdoor conditions. Your real calorie burn can differ because of pace, fitness level, terrain, wind, humidity, clothing, equipment, body composition, and tracker accuracy.

Asheville Fitness Overview
Asheville, North Carolina (pop. 94,067): Calorique's modeled city profile estimates a Calorique index of 58/100, about 6.1 gyms per 100K residents, and a walkability estimate of 40. The same model estimates 6,400 average daily steps and about 2,040 calories burned per day, and highlights fishing, tennis, yoga as activities suited to the local climate. These profile figures are planning estimates, not official city statistics or survey results. Measured public-health context from CDC PLACES (2023 data): 31.5% of Asheville adults have obesity (5.4 pts below the U.S. places median) and 20.0% report no leisure-time physical activity (6.6 pts below the U.S. places median).

How We Calculate Calories Burned for Volleyball in Asheville
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Asheville:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 6 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 6 for volleyball 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 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Asheville's average temperature of 55°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Volleyball involves jumping, diving, and quick lateral movements that provide a high-intensity intermittent workout. The sport develops explosive leg power from repeated jumping, upper body strength from hitting and blocking, and core stability from the rotational movements in serving and spiking. Beach volleyball on sand is even more demanding due to the unstable surface. Volleyball is excellent for developing reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and teamwork skills.
