Thanks for your reply.
You're doing a great job, keep up the good work! :)
Please be aware of the fact that I do not want to blame anyone... this might just as well be a miscalculation (or have another cause)...
By the way: my site isn't open for others (because of privacy considerations) but I linked my weight to my Withings scale so I'm sure it's very accurate.
I use a band for the heart; usually calculate caloric 1cal x 1kg x 1 hour... ... with the band for the heart is a different.
I weigh 70kg and run for 1 hour, the consumption is 700kcal but in this training have consumed 825kcal in 50 min (http://www.gps-sport.net/trainings/running_544472)
If i make my weigh in 100kg the consumption is very hight, The problem is the same !!! ... the field calorie consumption isn't good for the 'Hall of fame'
If I run 10km at a rate of 4 min / km (totale 40 minutes), my performance is better if I run 10 km at a rate of 6 min / km (total 60 minutes), calorie consumption is the same, as why I used less time. The performances is the same but the same atlete?
In the endurance sport, the best atlete have high performance with low energy consumption...
I propose an algorithm that calculates the performance, weight, speed, number of training sessions, to create a month ranking.
There's a diffence between the "Athletes of the Month" on the homepage and the top 3 ranked athletes in the hall of fame. It seems that calories consumed by walking are not taken into account on the homepage in contrast with the hall of fame. On the other hand the "questionmark-sports" (which could be anything) are taken into account on the homepage, but not in the rankings.
Thanks for your reply!
I may have found a cause for the "problem" but I'm not sure... maybe the admin can help us out...
As far as I can see there are 2 possible causes for too high calorie consumption values.
1. As I stated before I think the calorie consumption is directly proportional to (only) a persons body weight. So if the body weight is set too high the calorie consumption will be too high as well.
2. I think I may have found another issue which could lead to incorrect values. It seems that if people wear a heart belt the calorie consumption is calculated in a different manner (maybe heart efficiency?). E.g: There's a certain person in the top rankings who consumes 48,8 kCal when wearing a heart belt and 27,0 kCal when not wearing the belt (same sport of course). Both measurements were made on the same day.
Under current circumstances there are people who consume more calories by cycling 50km than others by 100km racebiking, which seems quite odd...
Admin, could you please check this out?
Thanks in advance.
