Frequently Asked Questions

The calories burned during soccer depend on intensity, duration, and your body weight. On average, a 70kg person burns 300–800 calories per hour. Use a higher activity level in the calculator if you do soccer regularly (3+ times per week).

If you do soccer 1–3 times per week, choose "Light" or "Moderate." For 4–6 sessions per week, choose "Active." If you train daily or have a physical job on top of soccer, choose "Very Active." When in doubt, go one level lower.

A competitive 90-minute match burns 700–1,100 calories depending on position and intensity. Midfielders and wingers typically burn the most due to greater running distance. Training sessions burn 400–700 calories.
