There are many reasons why you decide to do sports; There are those who do it for physical and mental well-being, those who do it to increase muscle, those who have to recover from an injury and those who have to lose weight.
In some cases it is important to know how many calories are burned for the sporting activity that is taking place.
What are calories and how do they affect our body?
Calories are the unit of measurement of the energy contained in food. Our body needs energy to function, even when it's at rest, so calories are essential for our body. However, if we eat more calories than we burn, this can lead to a buildup of body fat, which can lead to health problems such as obesity.
Sport helps us burn excess calories and keep our body weight under control. But how much exactly do we burn during physical activity? The amount of calories burned depends on the type of activity and the intensity. For example, a person running at 8 km/h for 30 minutes burns about 300 calories, while an hour of yoga burns about 150 calories. The intensity of the activity is also important: the greater the effort required, the more calories we burn.
