SPORTQA
Train smarter — sports guides, science-backed tips, and the calculators every athlete needs.
From dialing in your running pace and estimating your one-rep max to training by heart rate, checking your body composition, planning your hydration, and counting the calories you burn, SportQA pairs free hands-on fitness calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Train smarter, perform better.
Sports & Fitness Tools & Calculators
Free tools for every athlete — running pace calculator, one-rep max calculator, heart rate zone calculator, BMI & body fat calculator, sports hydration calculator, and calorie burn calculator.
Running Pace Calculator
Turn a distance and finishing time into your pace per kilometre and per mile, plus average speed in km/h and mph — plan training runs and pace your next race with confidence
One-Rep Max Calculator
Estimate your one-rep max from a submaximal set with the Epley and Brzycki formulas, and get a percentage table for loading every set — no risky true-max attempts required
Heart Rate Zone Calculator
Find your maximum heart rate and five training zones from your age, with optional Karvonen zones when you add a resting heart rate — so every session hits the intensity you intend
BMI & Body Fat Calculator
Calculate your Body Mass Index and category plus an estimated body-fat percentage from the Deurenberg equation, using your weight, height, age, and sex — a quick body-composition snapshot
Sports Hydration Calculator
Estimate your daily fluid target — a bodyweight baseline plus fluid to replace the sweat you lose training, scaled by intensity, in millilitres and litres so you train well hydrated
Calorie Burn Calculator
Estimate the calories you burn using the MET model — pick a sport, enter your bodyweight and duration, and see total calories and calories per minute to balance training with nutrition
Net Run Rate Calculator
Work out a cricket team's net run rate across a tournament the way the points table does — overs read as balls, bowled-out innings charged the full quota — plus the required run rate for a chase
Cricket Batting & Bowling Average Calculator
Batting average and strike rate with not-outs handled properly, plus bowling average, economy and strike rate from overs in cricket notation
Title Race Calculator
Can the chasing team still catch the leader? See the chaser's maximum points, whether it can finish above or only level, and the leader's clinch number
Sports & Games Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the sports and games that shape the way we move and compete — iconic disciplines and their equipment alongside legendary athletes and moments, the science of training and the human body, and the culture and history of play, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind every great sport: how each one came to be, what makes it matter, and the role it plays in shaping how we train and compete.

Fresh guides on fitness and strength training, sports science, nutrition and recovery, injury prevention, and popular sports, plus practical tips for training smarter and performing at your best.
When Is a Title Race Mathematically Over?
A title race is over when the chasing team's best possible total can no longer reach the leader. The arithmetic is simple, but finishing level, head-to-head games and other teams all change what it means.
Why a Batting Average Divides by Dismissals, Not Innings
A batting average is runs per dismissal, which is why not-outs raise it and a batter never dismissed has no average at all. The bowling figures have traps of their own.
How Net Run Rate Works, and the Two Rules That Trip People Up
Net run rate decides tight cricket tables, and most hand calculations get it wrong in one of two ways: reading 18.2 overs as 18.2, or forgetting that a side bowled out is charged its full quota.
