Calculating a Firefighter’s Calorie Expenditure

Calculation Formula

Calories Burned (kcal) = METs (Exercise Intensity) * Body Weight (kg) * Exercise Duration * 1.05

METs Values

The METs value indicates how many times greater the energy expenditure from exercise is compared to that at rest.
The METs values used here are taken from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition’s revised “METs Table for Physical Activity.”
