1. What is the Calories Burned Walking Equation?

The Calories Burned Walking Equation estimates energy expenditure during walking for women, accounting for body weight, distance walked, path incline, and height. It provides a more accurate assessment than simpler equations by including incline and height adjustments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the walking equation for women:

\[ Calories = 0.035 \times Weight \times Distance + \frac{Incline^2}{Height} \times 0.029 \times Weight \times Distance \]

Where:

\( Weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
\( Distance \) — Walking distance in kilometers
\( Incline \) — Path incline percentage
\( Height \) — Body height in meters

Explanation: The equation accounts for both the base metabolic cost of walking and the additional energy expenditure from walking on inclined surfaces, adjusted for the walker's height.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie estimation is crucial for weight management, fitness planning, and understanding energy expenditure during exercise.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter weight in kg, distance in km, incline in percent, and height in meters. All values must be valid (weight > 0, distance > 0, height > 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is this equation specific to women?
A: Women typically have different body composition and metabolic rates than men, requiring gender-specific equations for accurate calorie estimation.

Q2: What are typical calorie burn rates for walking?
A: On flat terrain, most women burn about 50-100 calories per km walked, depending on weight. Incline significantly increases this.

Q3: How does incline affect calorie burn?
A: Incline increases calorie burn exponentially - a 10% incline may double calorie expenditure compared to flat walking.

Q4: Why include height in the calculation?
A: Height affects stride length and therefore the mechanical work required to walk a given distance, especially on inclines.

Q5: Can this be used for running?
A: No, this equation is specifically calibrated for walking speeds (typically under 6 km/h). Running requires different calculations.
