HRM calorie burn accuracy
Couldn't find anything when googling this group, but I'm sure this must
have been asked here before. I had a very enjoyable 100+km ride today in the "spring" sunshine (what happened to winter? I must have blinked and missed it) wearing my HRM as usual. It claimed I used 4600 calories. This seems excessive to me. I was riding for about 4 hours all told, at about 75% of my Max HR (avr 140). I would describe my cycling as "moderate" - not a tough workout by any means. Most websites I've been to about calorie consumption would put a rate of about 500 calories an hour for "moderate" cycling. Ergo, I would have expected to use about 2000 calories. Are HRM's just that approximate? -- Chris |
