Calories for different sports

I often get requests to show calorie requirements for different sports in addition to running. If anyone has a generic formula for estimating calories for any other sports please let me know but it must be based on weight and distance.

I looked around but there appear to be many contradicting sources for most sports, especially cycling where hills and wind play a big part. With that in mind if you do provide a formula, please let me know your source so I can take a look. The idea is not to be 100% accurate but at least to give people a rough idea.

For reference, the formula I use for running is based on the Runners World formula:

calories = weight in kg * distance in km * 1.036
