Calorie Calculation

You will burn calories without using an incline. Adding an incline, adds work and will burn more.

Tangent diagram

    WEIGHT:     Pounds

AVG SPEED:   MPH

 DURATION:    Minutes

      ANGLE:     Degrees

 
 
ESTIMATED CALORIES:   ________


Added calories burned (energy) = Distance elevated X Weight
Distance elevated = Height
Incline Energy = Height * Weight

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent
---------------------------------------
Tan(Incline) = Height / Distance
Height / Distance = Tan(Incline)
Height = Tan(Incline) * Distance
Height = Distance * Tan(Incline)
Height = Pace * Duration * Tan(Incline)

Incline Energy = Height * Weight
Incline Energy = Pace * Duration * Tan(Incline) * Weight

Estimated Incline Calories = Energy       Estimated No Incline Calories = Speed * Duration
