Calories Burned Playing Squash Formula
Use this formula in basic mode:
Calories Burned = Body Weight (lb) × Minutes Played × 0.0754
Advanced mode lets you swap in a session factor that better matches how you play:
- 0.0580 = doubles / recreational
- 0.0754 = standard squash
- 0.0953 = singles / competitive
Multiply your body weight by the time played and the factor that matches your session.

What Changes Calorie Burn in Squash?
- Singles usually burns more than doubles because each player covers more court. Using the factors above, singles burns about 64% more per minute than doubles.
- Rally length matters. Longer rallies and shorter rest periods push calorie burn higher.
- Movement quality matters. Fast footwork, repeated lunges, and hard changes of direction raise the total.
- Body weight matters. At the same pace and duration, heavier players burn more calories.
Example Calculation
A 150-pound player who plays 45 minutes of standard squash burns:
Calories Burned = 150 × 45 × 0.0754 = 508.95 calories
Rounded, that is 509 calories.
