I have been playing team sports for over 10 years. I built this calculator to help athletes track their calorie burn during games and training sessions.
Soccer Calorie Calculator
A typical soccer match burns between 400-900 calories per hour, depending on playing intensity, position, and body weight. Our calculator provides personalized estimates based on your specific activity.
Soccer is one of the most popular sports worldwide and provides excellent cardiovascular exercise with constant movement, sprinting, and direction changes.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values based on soccer activity type:
Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours)
MET Values by Activity
| Activity Type | MET Value |
|---|---|
| Competitive Match | 10.0 |
| Training Session | 8.0 |
| Casual/Recreational | 7.0 |
| Goalkeeper | 5.0 |
Example Calculation
For a 70 kg person playing competitive soccer for 90 minutes:
1. Duration: 90 min = 1.5 hours
2. MET Value: 10.0 (competitive match)
3. Calculation: 10.0 × 70 × 1.5 = 1,050 calories
Note: Midfielders typically cover 10-13 km per match, burning significantly more calories than goalkeepers who cover 5-7 km.
