How Many Calories are Burned by Skating?
For rollerblading, in-line skating, 21.0 to 21.7 km/h (13.0 to 13.6 mph), fast pace, exercise training, which is a typical intensity activity under the general description of skating activities, the average calories burned by a person weighing 190 pounds (86 Kg) in 30 minutes is 530 Calories. In one hour rollerblading, in-line skating, 21.0 to 21.7 km/h (13.0 to 13.6 mph), fast pace, exercise training will burn 1,060 Calories.
Summary of Skating Information and Charts
To help you find the information you need, we first focus on rollerblading, in-line skating, 21.0 to 21.7 km/h (13.0 to 13.6 mph), fast pace, exercise training which is the most common skating activity. This is followed by the activities with the highest burn rate which is rollerblading, in-line skating, 24.0 km/h (15.0 mph), maximal effort, and the lowest which is skating, ice, 9 mph or less, giving the average calories burned per minute and per hour, along with food calorie equivalents and our new proprietary calories burned score© and calories burned rank©The calorie score gives an indication of the relative burn rate of the skating activities measured as a percentage score out of 100 for the different skating activities, where 100% is the maximum calorie burn which we estimate from running at a pace of 4 minutes per mile which is a world class speed for running for 30 mins.
The calorie rank is the rank of the skating activity compared with all other 800 activities in our database to give an indication of the percentage of activities which have a higher or lower calorie burn. A rank of 1 means it is the highest ranking activity in terms or calorie burn and a rank of 100 means it is the activity with the lowest carlorie burn compared with all other activities.
Effect of Intensity on the Calorie Calculator
Although the above is a typical example for skating, the calculator we use to determine the calories burnt depends on the intensity, duration and your body weight. At the bottom of the article we have a variety of different intensities which can be personalized based on your weight and the duration of the activities, using our free calculator.
