Pickleball Calorie Calculator

How it works

Pickleball is a surprisingly effective workout, especially given its accessibility and low impact relative to tennis. A 72 kg player burns roughly 300-400 kcal/hr in social doubles and 450-580 kcal/hr in competitive singles. The smaller court reduces running compared to tennis, but the fast reactions, frequent dinking at the net and quick exchanges keep the heart rate up. Its popularity with older adults owes much to this balance of genuine exercise with manageable impact.
