For padel, the MET value can vary from 4.0 to 7.0, depending on the intensity.
To give a practical example, an 80kg competitor who plays a high intensity match for 90 minutes will consume 7(MET) X 80(kg) X 1.5(h) = 840 calories.
The length of your game or session is a major factor in your overall calorie burn calculation.
Using the padel-specific MET equation, multiplied by the player's weight and the duration of the activity, you can get an accurate estimate of calories burned.
Individual variations in basal metabolic rate influence the rate at which calories are burned during physical activity.
The MET equation is a formula used to estimate the energy expenditure of a physical activity.
Energy expenditure is influenced by body weight, with heavier individuals tending to expend more calories for the same amount of activity.
Game Intensity: Typically rated in terms of average heart rate (MHR), game intensity is directly proportional to calorie expenditure.
