Running
One of the sports that will help in stopping belly fat is to run a race. When a teenager gets to train for a race competition, he or she burns a lot of calories. How much fat the teenager burns depends on the body weight and running pace.
According to a research conducted by Harvard Medical School, in 60 minutes, a 155-pound person burns 670 calories running at a pace of 5.2 miles per hour while 1,078 calories will burn for running at a pace of 8.6 miles per hour.
Road Cycling and Mountain Biking
Leisurely peddling around the neighbourhood won’t do much for a teenager’s waistline, but cycling at a fast pace and on varied terrain will do well. According to a research conducted by Harvard Medical School, a 155-pound person can torch 632 calories mountain biking for an hour and 744 calories cycling at a pace of 14 to 15.9 miles per hour. The faster you pedal and the more hills you climb, the more calories you burn.
Swimming Strokes
The resistance provided by water makes swimming more energetically challenging than a lot of land-based sports. Depending on what water exercise the teenager is doing, he/she can burn up to 12 calories per minute, according to a research conducted by University of California.
Rock Climbing
Pulling the weight of the teenager’s body up a cliff or up the wall of a rock-climbing gym is no easy feat. Especially on longer climbs, the teenager will feel the heart rate skyrocket. Harvard University research estimates that a 155-pound teenager burns 818 calories while ascending.
Olympic Weightlifting
Weightlifting means to lift large loads in explosive movements and it takes a great deal of energy to execute. This is partly because lifts utilize large muscle groups and combine movements usually performed as single lifts in the gym. Weightlifting is a huge metabolic boost that can, not only burn a lot of calories while lifting, but also raises the metabolism in the hours following the workout.
Rowing and Crew
Pulling oars through water makes for an incredibly tough sport activity that can build muscle and burn calories for teenagers. Calorie burn is harder to judge when you’re crewing with a team, but when you’re practicing on a stationary rower in the gym you can expect to burn an average of 632 calories rowing at a vigorous pace, depending on your weight, according to Harvard Medical School.
Basketball Matches
The nonstop action of a full-court basketball game can leave a teenager drenched in sweat. It can also help you lighten up. According to the University of Rochester Medical Center, a 155-pound person can burn about 576 calories in an hour of game play.
Football Games
The explosive moves involved in competitive football have a high metabolic cost, and the endurance to last a whole game also requires a lot of energy. The University of Rochester Medical Center estimates that a 155-pound person burns 648 calories an hour during competitive football. Training drills and activities can also be big calorie torches.
