To calculate the calories burned while treading water:
\[ C = T \times W \times I \]
Where:
Treading water calories refers to the amount of calories a person burns while performing the physical activity of treading water. This exercise involves keeping oneself afloat in water by moving the limbs without actually swimming in any direction. The number of calories burned during this activity can vary greatly depending on factors such as a person’s weight, the intensity of the exercise, and the duration of the activity. It is considered a good form of cardiovascular exercise and can help in weight loss and improving overall fitness.
Example 1:
Assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ C = 30 \times 150 \times 0.1 = 450 \]
Total calories burned: 450 calories.
Example 2:
Assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ C = 45 \times 180 \times 0.2 = 1620 \]
Total calories burned: 1620 calories.
