Enter your weight and the duration of playing squash into the calculator to estimate the calories burned. This tool helps you to track the energy expenditure during your squash sessions.
Calories Burned Playing Squash Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned while playing squash is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for squash and the individual’s body weight.
Calories Burned = (METs x 3.5 x weight in kg) / 200 x duration in minutes
Variables:
- METs is the metabolic equivalent of task for playing squash (7.3 METs)
- Weight is the body weight of the person playing squash (in kilograms)
- Duration is the time spent playing squash (in minutes)
To calculate the calories burned, convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, multiply by the MET value for squash, and then adjust for the duration of the activity.

Example Problem:
Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you played squash for 30 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:
Weight in kg = 150 lbs / 2.20462 = 68 kg
Calories Burned = (7.3 METs x 3.5 x 68 kg) / 200 x 30 min = 499 calories
