Woow, I've been looking for at least 2 hours for the exact formulas to calculate calories based on heart rate, you don't mentioned the source but I compare the results with some online calculators and are the same, thanks for adding the formulas in your video
Thank you for tackling this topic! I think it's important to say, that we're not consistently climbing in a session. Especially in a hard bouldering session, most of the time we're just sitting around. That means, we would have to stop our timer after each route/boulder. Generally spoken, overestimation of calories burnt is very common. For example In a typical weights-workout you won't burn a lot of calories at all. As a 2019 study shows male participants burnt in a full-body workout (7 exercises, 2-3 sets, 8-12 reps) on average 160 kcal, and female participants 80 kcal. Additionally, an insignificant 8kcal from the afterburn effect (EPOC). (Jason Robert Lytle et. al. 2019)
Here are the calculations for me, based on the measurements in this video - I was surprised to see how close my smartwatch was to the Heart Rate + Details calculation but then again, it's probably the same calculation Apple uses in their health app. SmartWatch: 512 Active Calories and 620 Total Calories MET Value: 529 Calories MET Value + Details: 495 Calories Heart Rate + Details: 512.93 Calories V02Max + Heart Rate + Details: 439.63 If you want to read more about this, check out my blog post here: sendedition.com/how-many-calories-do-you-burn-from-climbing/
I have a problem with all met values based calculations. My 90 minutes rope workout actually has only 35 minutes of actual climbing and rest I am belaying or resting. I always counted actual climbing time as value. And in that case I burn about 200-300kcal per session on rope for me. And close to nothing while bouldering since my one burn on problem takes max 20-30sec and I do about 25-30 tries before my skin is gone.
I think it's important to keep in mind that it's climbing per hour and not belaying, socializing or chalking up per hour

Great point on how to make the calorie count more accurate - so true about taking breaks and sitting around. Thank you for sharing 😀
@@SendEdition Thank you for the video! I guess my point was obvious anyway :D

If we burned 500 calories an hour climbing, after 4 hours of hard climbing you’d be in a 2000 calorie deficit lol there is no way this is accurate

Goals:
- get back to 5.13
-short term get to v6
-long term reach v9
-finally be able to climb consistently again
Those sound like great goals! Good luck on your journey :)
Cool?
You don't look a gram over 66.224 kilograms.
Lol! Thanks 😊
Climb more outdoors. So far so good
When the snow melts and it's safe to hike to the crag without winter gear, I'll be sure to get more outdoor climbing videos out :)
