In what ballsport do you burn the most calories?

I know every footballer would argue for their sport, but this time they lose. And as much as I love football (soccer), as an physical therapist (physiotherapist for you Brits) specialized within Sports Medicine added to it, I have to agree with my lecturer in Orthopaedics: Football is not a sport, it's a diagnosis. It does take the prize on producing the most enjuries, though.

So which sport takes the prize in whacking those calories?

That would be Squash, ladies and gents! Squash is actually a clear winner for burning calories compared to other ball sports says Annie Lambeth-Mansell, sport and exercise scientist at the University of Worcester. So you don't just whack the ball (and sometimes your partner) you also whack the crap out of your calories!
