Stair Climbing Calories Burned Calculator

This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula to estimate calories burned during exercise. It's a scientifically validated method for calculating energy expenditure.

The Formula:

Total Calories Burned = Duration (in minutes) * (MET * 3.5 * Body Weight in kg) / 200

What is a MET?

A MET value represents the energy cost of an activity. A MET of 1 is equivalent to the energy you burn at rest. Climbing stairs has different MET values depending on your pace:

• Slow Pace: 4.0 METs (e.g., walking up stairs slowly)
• Moderate Pace: 8.8 METs (e.g., walking up stairs at a fast pace)
• Vigorous Pace (Stair Machine): 9.0 METs (e.g., using a stair-climbing machine)

By providing your weight, duration, and pace, the calculator can give you a reliable estimate of the calories you've burned.
