ne of the commonest questions that folks ask me about Stand Up Paddling is “What number of energy can I burn”?
I’ve spent a while online on the lookout for the proper reply however I believed I would perform a little “un-scientific” analysis myself. So I paddled yesterday utilizing a coronary heart fee monitor and my Polar Pc to provide me a fairly correct image of a typical SUP exercise.
Now a few concerns and disclosures. First, the center fee monitor I used is made for biking. I merely took the pc off of my bike and put it in my pocket whereas paddling. Definitely there could also be some changes that should be made for the “sort of exercise” however since massive muscle teams are being labored in each biking and paddling, I do not suppose the calorie calculation would change very a lot 3-Fin Floating Paddleboard Non Slip Deck, Waterproof Phone Bag B08T61JSYW.
The opposite consideration is the paddlers measurement and weight. I am 6’2″ and weigh-in at about 225-228. Moreover, I paddle about 5 days per week which, I hope, implies that my situation degree ought to be a bit increased than the common bear. I might count on my common coronary heart fee could be a bit decrease in consequence.
I performed my un-scientific take a look at on a transparent morning with a slack tide and little to no wind. The situations had been almost excellent and had little to no impact on my exercise (versus a powerful head/tail wind, and so forth.). I paddled a 12′ customary board (SupWorks Alpha) which weighs in at 28 kilos and I used to be utilizing an QuickBlade Kahana carbon fiber paddle.
Listed here are the outcomes….
- Train Time: 53:43
- In-Zone: 51:32
- Common Coronary heart Fee: 147bpm
- Energy Burned: 822kcal
Couple of feedback:
- The “Train Time” is the overall time from after I began to paddle to after I stopped.
- “In-Zone” refers to what number of minutes my coronary heart fee was in my “Anaerobic Zone”. My “Zone” is between 118bpm and 170bpm.
- My common coronary heart fee for your complete exercise cycle was 147bpm.
