How many calories does an hour of slow jogging consume

The calorie consumption of jogging for one hour is usually between 300-600 calories, and the specific value is affected by factors such as weight, running speed, terrain slope, and cardiovascular function. Slow jogging belongs to moderate intensity aerobic exercise, and calorie expenditure is positively correlated with body weight. An adult weighing 60 kilograms runs at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, consuming approximately 450 calories; A person weighing 80 kilograms can consume 600 calories under the same conditions. Increasing running speed or choosing an uphill route can significantly increase energy consumption, for example, when the pace is increased to 10 kilometers per hour, calorie consumption can increase by about 30%. According to treadmill data, jogging on a 5% slope consumes 20% more calories than running on flat ground. Individual differences in heart and lung function can also affect fat burning efficiency. Long term exercisers have better muscle coordination and higher energy utilization efficiency. In special circumstances, there may be deviations in heat consumption. Slow jogging in high-altitude environments can burn more calories due to thin oxygen, but caution should be taken against the risk of hypoxia. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the body needs to expend additional energy to regulate body temperature, and the actual amount of fat burned may increase by 10% -15%. Although wearing weight-bearing equipment for running can increase energy consumption, it may increase the risk of joint injuries. Some populations may have metabolic abnormalities, such as hyperthyroidism, where the calorie expenditure during exercise may exceed the conventional calculated value.

It is recommended to combine heart rate monitoring equipment to accurately calculate personal consumption, and control the heart rate during exercise within the range of 60% -70% of the maximum heart rate to achieve the best fat burning effect. Warm up and stretch before and after running, choose running shoes with good cushioning performance, maintain regular jogging 3-5 times a week, and cooperate with dietary control to achieve safe weight loss. People with a larger weight base should start with brisk walking and gradually avoid excessive weight-bearing on the knee joints.
