Factors that affect calorie burn during exercise

By - Ted Escobedo 1 day ago   1 min read

While exercise is the best way to burn calories, some are better than others and the number of calories you burn depends on several factors.

 Here's how many calories you might burn per exercise in 30 minutes 
• Sprinting (10 miles per hour) burns 640 calories.
• High-intensity interval training (HIIT) burns 353 calories.
• Jumping rope burns 300 calories.
• Biking (10 miles per hour or faster) burns 287 calories.
• Running (5 miles per hour)     burns 287 calories/
• Swimming (slow freestyle laps) burns 248 calories.
There are a few factors that may affect your workout/calorie burning ratio such as:
• Age: You lose muscle mass as you age, which slows the speed at which you burn calories while exercising.
• Body weight: The number of calories you burn while exercising increases with weight. People who weigh more need more energy for physical activity.
• Duration and intensity: Slow walking will burn fewer calories than walking at a moderate speed.
• Muscle mass: Muscle burns more calories than fat. People with more muscle may burn more calories at rest and while exercising.
• Sex: Men burn more calories than women while doing the same exercises. Men typically have more muscle and weigh more than women.
