Roughly how many calories would I burn playing a 2 hour game of tennis? I am not that good so I have to do alot of running around the court.
And Does the weather have an influence over the amount of calories you burn? eg In summer you sweat more so does this mean you burn more calories than in winter?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

I would think that tennis burns 300-400 calories per hour. As for the temperature, your body expends more energy in the hot weather because it has to cool you off, too (so you burn more calories in the heat). See the calculator below for the calories burned by other activities. Good luck!

That would fully depend on how intense you are playing the game of tennis as well as what you working heart rate is. Weather would if it was hot out more sweating more energy is needed to complete your sport or whatever. Sweat alone no. Its about intensity.

the weather isn't going to make a big impact on how many kcal's you burn...other than all that sweating is going to shorten how long you stay and play. I used to know a website that estimated kcal burned for many types of activities, but can't remember...you can probably find it if you try some creative searching.

1484. weather doesn't matter.... Make sure you eat a lot that day. You need to have at least 1200 cal a day to be healthy and if you burn that many you are only leaving 284 cals for your body to eat on.
