How it's calculated
We use the standard formula calories = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200 × minutes. A MET is a multiple of your resting energy use; volleyball is about 4 METs at a typical effort. Harder effort and more body weight mean more calories.
These are estimates. Real burn varies with fitness, intensity, terrain and individual metabolism.
