The number of calories burned during an hour of basketball can vary depending on factors such as intensity, body weight, and individual metabolism. On average, a person can burn the following number of calories per hour of basketball:
– Light intensity: 400-500 calories per hour
– Moderate intensity: 500-700 calories per hour
– High intensity: 700-900 calories per hour
A person weighing around 155 pounds (70 kg) typically burns around 450-600 calories in an hour of moderate play, while someone heavier may burn more calories. If you play intensely, you could burn significantly more.
