This tool calculates the calories you burn during an ice bath.
How to Use the Ice Bath Calories Burned Calculator
To use the calculator, simply enter your weight in kilograms, the duration of the ice bath in minutes, and the temperature of the bath in degrees Celsius. Then click on the “Calculate” button to see an estimate of the calories burned during the ice bath.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses a simple formula where your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is combined with a temperature factor to estimate the calories burned. The BMR is adjusted based on your weight, and the temperature factor is calculated from the difference between normal body temperature (37°C) and the ice bath temperature. Finally, the duration of the bath is used to determine the total calories burned.
Limitations
Keep in mind that this calculator provides only an estimate. Actual calories burned can vary based on individual metabolic rates, the body’s adaptation to cold, and other factors. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for more accurate and personalized information.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate calories burned during an ice bath session
Enter the duration of your ice bath in minutes and your weight to find out how many calories you burnt during your session. This calculation helps you understand the energy expenditure of your body while trying to cool down in icy water.
Track calories burned per minute during ice baths
See the amount of calories you burn on average for every minute spent in the ice bath. This metric gives you an insight into the intensity of your cold exposure and its impact on your overall energy consumption.
Compare calorie burn between different ice bath sessions
