Leg Press Calories Burned Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Calories Burned (C) is:

\[ C = W \times R \times D \times 0.0003238315 \times 0.707 \]

Where:

Leg Press: An exercise machine in which the individual sits in an inclined chair with their feet in the air on a press plate. The sides of the plate are loaded with weights, and the individual “presses” the weight up and down with their legs.
Calories Burned (C): The amount of energy expended while performing the leg press exercise.
Significance: This calculator assumes a distance of 3.5 feet and an angle of 45 degrees, and it only considers the calories burned from the direct movement of the weight.

Let's say the total weight lifted (W) is 200 lbs and the total number of reps performed (R) is 10. Using the formula:

\[ C = 200 \times 10 \times 3.5 \times 0.0003238315 \times 0.707 = 1.60 \]

So, the Calories Burned (C) is 1.60 calories.
