The number of calories burned during exercise is influenced by various factors, including heart rate. Heart rate provides a direct measure of how hard your body is working and can be used to estimate calorie expenditure.
To calculate the calories burned based on heart rate, we use the following formula:
Time = duration of exercise in minutes
Heart Rate = average heart rate during exercise
This formula is a simplified estimation and assumes an average person with a resting heart rate of 65 beats per minute. The constant 4.5 represents the average calories burned per minute per beat above the resting heart rate.
