Jump Rope Calories Calculator
Calculate caloric burn from skipping rope at moderate to fast revolutions
20 minutes at 10 METs (~2200 total skips)
Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: High-Frequency Plyometric MET Equation
Calories = MET × Body Mass (kg) × (Duration / 60)Repeated plyometric ground contacts produce rapid cardiovascular acceleration.
Model Assumptions
- Active jumping time (excluding long trip-up pauses)
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 10.0 to 12.3 MET | Rapid elastic stretch-shortening cycle energy turnover | dimensionless |
Scientific Limitations
- High impact; requires gradual tendon adaptation
