Calories calculation formula needed for a very cool free bikers app ;)

Hi guys,

I’m pretty new to this forum so first of all thanks for reading my post.

I’m writing as I think you only can help me in my research, I need to figure out a formula to calculate calories burned riding using only the following parameters:

AgeGenderWeightRide distance Ride timeaverage speed (retrieved used ride distance/ride time)

I found different formulas online but all of them seem pretty generic for male and females and sometimes take in consideration the heart rate that I cannot calculate.

Could you please help me finding out the best solution?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Nick

What you seem to be asking is impossible, what are you actually trying to do?

3

Sure, air temp and win temp would play a huge part in this. i.e 5 degrees and 35 degree riding

4

Are you confusing this with a cyclists forum?

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I tend to hang off the bike quite a lot when out in the lanes, but still, I am not sure I am burning that many calories. :smiley:

I think you need to take into account the bike… for example the KTM also makes you shed calories simply through vibration…

Firms up the skin as well :slight_smile:

what about the bum? they surely must give you nice and firm buttocks:D

If this is the case:

Hi I am a male, about balh blah balh…

Looking for a size 6 to 12 female KTM rider:P

surely ducking down and trying to hold your head up to see something while at high speeds burn calories too, or? :w00t:

And the buttock clenching when you run a bit too fast into a corner

10

Then there’s the heart rate increase when you realise that you’ve got into that corner just a tad too fast to be sure of getting out still in company with the bike.

I think I’ve easily burnt 200 calories doing exactly that yesterday :w00t:
