Hiking Calories

Hiking Calories is a simple app for estimating calories burned during hiking and mountain climbing.

Manual Input:
Enter your body weight, pack weight, moving time, distance, elevation gain, and elevation loss to calculate estimated calories burned.

GPS Input:
Use GPS to measure the following information during your hike
• Moving time
• Rest time
• Distance
• Elevation gain
• Elevation loss

The app estimates calories burned based on the measured data.

During GPS measurement, the display starts when GPS is received and is updated approximately every 5 minutes thereafter. The measurement itself continues continuously.

Calculation Method:
The calorie estimate uses a formula developed by Professor Masayoshi Yamamoto and his research team, specialists in exercise physiology related to mountaineering, to estimate energy expenditure during mountain climbing.

The displayed calorie value is an estimate and may differ from your actual energy expenditure.

Location Information:
When using GPS Input, the app uses location information to measure distance, moving time, and elevation gain and loss.

Location information is used only for measurement within the app and is not transmitted to external servers.
