How Many Calories Burned For 30 Min Lap Swim

How many calories does swimming laps for 10 minutes burn?

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology (exercise science) about a year ago and we used the 2011 Compendium of Physical Activities to get information about energy expenditure. The activities were measured using tools that measure gas exchange, that is, the ratios and rates of carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption, which vary with the intensity of the activity. According to those guidelines (found here: 18 - Water Activities - Compendium of Physical Activities), if you swam freestyle at a moderate pace for an hour, your MET* level would be somewhere between 5.3 and 5.8. Doing the conversion for a 150-lb person, this would equal about 400 Calories in the hour or about 67 Calories in 10 minutes.*MET stands for “Metabolic Equivalents.” 1 MET is the amount of oxygen you consume (related to Calories you burn) per minute per kilogram of body weight, which is about the same for every person and is about the level of activity of sitting quietly. If your MET level is 5, you are consuming about 5 times the oxygen you do while sitting. You can use the MET levels of various activities to calculate energy expenditure by multiplying the MET level by body weight in kilograms and time in hours.

How do I calculate the calories that I burn swimming a mile?

You can guesstimate based on body weight, pace, etc.Or they do make swimming watches which are waterproof. Obviously the apple watch is one, but there are some designed for swimming.Check them out→ 13 Best Waterproof Fitness Trackers For Swimming 2017

Which burns more calories: swimming or running?

Running would in theory burn more calories...There are a few major reason for this:Bigger impact sport with more soft tissue and skeleton muscle recruitmentElevated and much higher heart rateHoweverBeing in water requires your body to warm itself up much more than even being naked in a thin air. Water literally drains you out of energy by absorbing the heat, thus you would burn more calories. A simple analogy would be having a badly insulated house - you would put countless amounts of wood in order to keep the fire going and at optimal temperature.This is a reason olympic athlete M.Phelps and probably the most famous swimmer in history burns 12,000 calories a day of training in the pool!Hope it helps, however pick a sport you love rather than which burns more calories - the point here is prolonged exercise, rather than the movement

Which burns more calories, running a mile or swimming a mile?

Swimming, because of Physics.Heat conductivity in water is 25 times higher than air. This means, water cools down an object faster than air at the same temperature.Even if a runner and swimmer spend the same amount of muscle energy, the runner’s system is also fighting to stay cool, while the swimmer’s system fights against heat loss.Cooling is less expensive: sweating takes very few energy, while thermogenesis requires burning extra fuel in the muscles (shivering), faster heart rate, etc.As anecdotal evidence, I’m rarely hungry after running or riding bike for 30mins, but it’s a whole different story after 30mins freestyle across the bay, even if I’m controlling my heart rate to stay the same in both cases.
