    You should invest in a good heart rate monitor with a chest strap --- then you never have to guess again.

    I play indoor netball too, GD, GK. I have only measured with a HRM during training for outdoor netball. It greatly depends on how hard you play, how much you weigh, and other very individual factors.

    At a really really rough guess 40min game - 400cal..
    I will record my cal's expended on Thurs night and let you know what that is :)

    You can't wear a watch in netball.. :p
    Very annoying, I'm going to take the bands off my non-waterproof HRM and put it in my bra when I play netball and use my waterproof HRM for everything else.

    Thanks Rachie that would be much appreciated. I understand it would only be an estimate. I will be getting a monitor soon so will have to do the same.

    Unfortunately No, Netball is a very different game & because I play keeper there isnt as much cardio involved. If I played center tho I could probably use it as a reference but I need to loose another 15kg before I even think about Center lol

    can you hide the watch in your pocket or something (or down your bra?). I can't wear my watch at volleyball as it would get in the way so it loop it onto my belt loop while i play.

    I dont think GK would burn 400 calories. It's a much less intensive position. I pitch in softball and approx the same time as a netball game goes (90 min but half the time is batting) and I est 300 cals. And it's a full body motion.

    Netball has very strict rules No jewellery of any kind & no nails. When I get my monitor I will put it in my bra & hope the umpires dont notice

    Maybe not 400, good luck with hiding the hrm, I'm going to detach the straps to put mine in my bra

    I worked it out to be roughly 87cal per 10mins (so if it is a social indoor comp where the game sonly go for 40 minutes then the cals burned roughly are 348).

    I guess this would increase or decrease depending on where you're playing, and the level you're playing at. But I am playing A-Grade, in the centre court and this is roughly what I burn.. usually a bit more. This is just a rough number without wearing a monitor of some sort every week.
