So I've been using MFP for over a month now and play netball 2/3 times a week but can't log it as its not on the exersize lists!
Does anyone else play netball and how many cals would you say is burnt during a game playing either WA/GA or WD? I've noted it as basketball but I think more cals are burnt in this than netball in a game..
Thank you :)

    All depending upon how much you weigh.

    However, a 65kg (143lbs) person would burn approximately 450 calories an hour playing netball.

    Hi!

    From the site below:

    http://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/body+fitness/news+features/get+fit+with+netball,8389

    Also this next site shows calories burned for other activities as well as netball, but give a higher calorie burn for netball:

    I think with netball it massively depends what position you play. If I play GS I barely break a sweat and tonight have played 50/50 GS and Centre and boy could I feel it! I keep trying to get away with my calorie counter watch on, under a sweat band but I keep getting rumbled by the umpire lol. I would predict that it's around 300 calories when I'm in GS and probably double that in Centre, based on comparisons in how I feel compared to other exercise and sports I do.

    Not sure if will help as it obviously depends on the person but i play GK/WD and weigh around 85 kilos, ive used my garmin vivofit with the heart rate strap and it has varied anywhere from 500-680 cals per game (I also have it on for about 15 minutes beforehand while we practice passing and shooting). In saying that though im not 100% certain how accurate the garmin straps are and i also think because i am quite unfit it burns more calories(?), even running/jogging 6km burns about 600 cals for me!
