Do surfing or swimming breast stroke burn more calories

Surfing and swimming breast stroke are both excellent full-body exercises that can burn a significant number of calories. However, their calorie-burning potential varies depending on various factors such as the intensity and duration of the activity.

Calorie Burn of Surfing

Surfing requires a combination of paddling, popping up, and riding waves. Paddling alone can burn around 300-400 calories per hour, while popping up and riding waves can increase this number to 500-700 calories per hour. The intensity and duration of surfing sessions can vary greatly, affecting the total calorie burn.

Calorie Burn of Swimming Breast Stroke

Swimming breast stroke is a relatively slow but energy-efficient stroke. It typically burns around 200-300 calories per hour for a moderate-intensity swim. However, the calorie burn can increase to 300-400 calories per hour for a vigorous swim. The distance and duration of the swim are key factors in determining the total calorie burn.

Comparison

In general, surfing burns more calories than swimming breast stroke per hour due to its higher intensity and the additional energy required for paddling and popping up. However, the total calorie burn for either activity depends on the individual's intensity and duration of exercise.
