So I am officially the Foosball queen. I play every night since my husband brought a foosball table home. I know it works up a sweat and my arms will be sore the next day problem is I have searched and cannot find a calorie burn average for this. Anyone know? Or maybe have an idea how many METs this takes?

    I also play with my office colleagues between 10 minutes to 25 minutes. I gotta burn 100 to 200 calories at least.

    I used to play in tournaments with my brother. I could hit it so hard that the ball would end up coming out of our goal after scoring on the opponent. Fun times.

    I have to believe it is a minimum of 250 calories an hour--up to 350/400 for really competitive singles. Just my thought.

    I would say 50-100 calories/hour since it's primarily upper body.
