no it is a stupid sport
No, tennis would burn more calories over the course of an hour.
You burn about 5.3 calories per minute playing Wii Tennis.
you get exercise and you burn calories
a lot
Yes the longer and harder you play the more calories you'll burn. You burn about 15 calories an hour just sitting, so if your running around a court swatting a ball you probably burn somewhere around 600 calories an hour plus it builds up your metabolism which means you'll burn more calories sitting or sleeping. So YES you will lose weight playing tennis.
About 3 calories.
Squash involves a lot of movement and running and this is all exercise. The more the body has to move and the more energy this takes, the more calories it will burn.
It depends on such things as your body weight, your degree of fitness, how hard you are playing, and whether you are playing on hard ground or grass. For example, a 70 minute session of tennis could (for some people) burn approximately 500 calories if arms are swung in big motions, your feet are moved a lot, and you use backhand and forehand with force. Kate Hudson swears by it.
Same reason tennis does...you're swinging your arms and running and chasing a ball :)
It usually depends... A LOT. According to the commercials and recommendations. But the more Muscle you have the more calories you burn.
Depends on the amount of time spent and overall amount of running one does. Basketball has a lot of back and forth while tennis you usually have to run constantly as there is no one to take up the slack. Generally tennis would burn more calories.
Isometric exercise will not burn very many calories. While it does burn some, it is a strength training exercise, whereas something like sit ups or running burns calories.
