Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Variable: According to the american college of sports medicine a 154 pound male playing for 30 minutes would expend around 200 calories for moderate play. More intense play can burn over 300 calories per session. So 400 to 600 calories or more.

Dr Sadighpour and another doctor agreed
