A tool that estimates the energy expenditure during squat exercises performed with added resistance. It generally requires inputs such as body weight, the weight lifted, the number of repetitions, and the duration of the exercise. The output is an approximation of the number of calories utilized during the workout. For instance, an individual weighing 150 pounds performing squats with an additional 50 pounds for 3 sets of 10 repetitions might burn a certain amount of calories, which this tool attempts to quantify.
Accurately gauging energy expenditure during resistance training can be valuable for individuals pursuing specific fitness goals, such as weight management or muscle development. Understanding calorie burn helps in designing effective exercise programs and informing dietary adjustments. Historically, such calculations were done manually using metabolic equations, but these tools offer a more convenient and accessible method.
