What is the Elliptical Calorie & How does it work?
Elliptical trainers provide a low‑impact cardiovascular workout that can burn a substantial number of calories, especially when resistance and speed are increased.
The calorie expenditure is estimated using the metabolic equivalent (MET) concept, which scales with the intensity of the exercise. For an elliptical, MET can be approximated from resistance and speed settings.
By multiplying the MET value by the user’s body mass and the duration of the session, we obtain a reliable calorie estimate.
\\text{Calories}=\\text{MET}\\times\\text{weight}_{\\text{kg}}\\times\\frac{\\text{duration}_{\\text{min}}}{60}
MET = 1.5 + 0.1\times resistance + 0.05\times speed
