Statistics About The Most Accurate Way To Measure Calories Burned
The most accurate way to measure calories burned is through indirect calorimetry, which measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during physical activity.
In this post, we explore various statistics and findings related to the measurement of calories burned through different activities and exercises. From the accuracy of fitness trackers to the calorie-burning potential of weightlifting, walking, swimming, yoga, high-intensity workouts, and more, we delve into the numbers behind estimating energy expenditure in various daily activities.
Statistic 1
"According to a study by Stanford University, fitness trackers' heart rate monitoring is relatively accurate, but none of the seven devices they tested provided reliable measurements for energy expenditure or calories burned."
Statistic 2
"The Mayo Clinic estimates that an hour of light weightlifting can burn around 112 to 223 calories, while more rigorous weightlifting can burn 223 to 446 calories."
Statistic 3
"According to Mayo Clinic, a 160-pound person burns approximately 314 calories per hour walking at 3.5 mph."
Statistic 4
"Cleveland Clinic study finds that cardio machines overestimate calorie burn by 19% on average."
Statistic 5
"The American Council on Exercise states 1 pound of fat is approximately equal to 3,500 calories."
Statistic 6
"The American Dietetic Association found that the calories burned during sex, which lasts around six minutes on average, can be approximated to around 21 calories."
Statistic 7
"A 185-pound person burns about 266 calories in a half hour of moderate swimming, according to Harvard Health Publishing."
Statistic 8
"Studies by the American Council on Exercise reveal average person burns 160 to 266 calories per hour when practicing yoga."
Statistic 9
"According to a 2018 study by Ball State University, high-intensity workouts burn 14.2 calories per minute, much higher than traditional workouts."
Statistic 10
"Mayo Clinic estimates that for the average person, eight hours of sleep burns around 360 to 380 calories."
Statistic 11
"Running on a treadmill can burn 861-1,286 calories/hour for a 200-lb individual as per Cambridge University's study."
Statistic 12
"As per Consumer Reports, a person on an elliptical machine can burn about 2.16 to 2.8 calories per minute."
Statistic 13
"According to Live Science, the human body burns around 63 calories per hour simply by sitting."
Statistic 14
"According to The American Physiological Society, you burn roughly 1 calorie per minute when standing."
Statistic 15
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that a person who weighs 154 pounds burns about 280 calories by doing an hour of low-impact aerobics."
Statistic 16
"According to the World Health Organization, aerobic dance can burn between 6.5 to 8.3 calories per minute, depending on intensity."
Statistic 17
"Cycling can burn between 400 to 1000 calories per hour, depending on the intensity and rider’s weight, as per a study conducted by the University of New Mexico."
