Badminton Calories Calculator
Badminton is a serious cardio workout. Enter your weight, how long you played, and the intensity to estimate the calories you burned. The estimate uses standard MET (metabolic equivalent) values for racket sports.
How the estimate works
Calories ≈ MET × weight (kg) × hours. We use MET 4.5 for casual rallies, 5.5 for doubles, 7.0 for singles, and 8.5 for competitive singles.
