How it works
The ACSM walking equation uses 0.1 × speed + 1.8 × speed × grade + 3.5. The running equation uses 0.2 and 0.9. Speed is in metres/minute; grade is a fraction (3% = 0.03). The oxygen estimate is converted at 5 kcal/L.
Walking model: 1.9–3.7 mph. Running model: above 5 mph. Level to uphill, steady pace. Holding the rails or inaccurate belt calibration can affect the estimate. Example: 70 kg, 30 minutes, 3 mph and 3% incline gives about 167 total kcal and 130 active kcal.
