Anyone tried regatta ios app?

I tried out this app today and it was really interesting. It was a live row and had a leaderboard that I didn't understand. Anyone know how the ranking is determined? The output was in Kj and not calories. I don't know how they determined this value. The instructions didn't explain anything.

I don't know the ap.

Kilojoules is just a measure of energy. Likely they were computing kJ from the Watts data supplied by the PM5. kilojoules = watts × seconds / 1000. You can view it as Calories with a scaling multiplier. Someone with more kJ will have burned more calories.

Ranking by kJ would not be my first choice of metrics -- IMO someone who rows at 300W for 10 minutes did much more than someone who rowed at 100W for 30 minutes even though they accumulated the same number of kilojoules.
