How We Calculate Calories Burned for Volleyball in New York
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for New York:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 6 for volleyball is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for New York's average temperature of 49°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
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.
