Abstract: With the increasing importance of health and well-being in today’s culture, exercise is becoming a significant element of daily activities. But often, individuals focus more on the outcomes of their efforts-such as how many calories they burn-than on the processes that produce them. This study presents the development of a prediction model that is integrated into a web application to determine an individual’s caloric intake while engaging in physical exercise. The program examines key factors that significantly affect calorie burn using machine learning approaches, providing users with information on how effective their workouts are. To improve the predicted accuracy of the model, domain-specific parameters related to caloric expenditure were analyzed in this study. Heart rate, exercise duration, body temperature, height, and weight are among the factors selected for the model. Because it indicates the body’s oxygen demand, which is a crucial component of the metabolic processes involved in producing energy from carbohydrates during physical exercise, heart rate is very important. Heart rate fluctuation is a useful predictor since it is correlated with the degree of exercise. The length of the exercise is also important because longer workouts tend to burn more calories. To account for individual physiological variations that impact energy consumption, body temperature, height, and weight were also taken into consideration. A dataset that recorded these characteristics during a variety of physical activities was used to train the model using supervised learning techniques. Accuracy, mean squared error and R-squared values were among the performance evaluation metrics used to confirm the model’s ability to accurately estimate caloric expenditure. This research adds a useful application for users who want to monitor and enhance their physical health by giving them estimations that are customized to their unique qualities.
