Formula and methodology
Formula: MET energy rate = MET × 3.5 × body mass ÷ 200 kcal/min; total energy = rate × minutes; active-above-rest energy replaces MET with MET − 1.
The activity compendium assigns broad MET values to moderate and vigorous hand shoveling. This calculator applies those values transparently and separates total modeled energy from the portion above a one-MET resting baseline.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Body mass — kg; minimum 30; maximum 250
- Shoveling duration — minutes; minimum 1; maximum 720
- Effort level — 2 choices
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Body mass | 75 |
| Shoveling duration | 30 |
| Effort level | moderate |
At 5.3 MET, a 75 kg person shoveling for 30 minutes has an estimated total energy of about 208.7 kcal and active-above-rest energy of about 169.3 kcal.
Assumptions and limits
- The selected moderate or vigorous label reasonably describes the session.
- Body mass is entered in kilograms and duration in minutes.
- MET is a population activity intensity, not an individual measurement.
- The active-above-rest result subtracts one MET and is not a clinical resting-metabolism calculation.
- Snow density, pushing versus lifting, pauses, clothing, weather, technique, and fitness can change actual expenditure.
- The page does not calculate dehydration, heat loss, cardiovascular strain, or injury risk.
- People with health concerns should use appropriate medical advice before strenuous snow removal.
