Excited sports fans can burn up to 540 calories in a 90 minute matchWatching sport can be a workout in itself, as a new study has shown you could burn up to 540 calories watching a 90-minute football match. This could be the equivalent of a decent run, and you don’t even need to kick a ball. That’s why, according to a new study, over half of sports fans (59%) feel like they’ve had a workout just watching. There’s even a runner’s high, with a whopping 88% saying watching sport with others gives them an energy boost. While a tennis fan could burn up to 432 calories, the equivalent of a 60-minute swim, while an athletics fan could burn up to 162 calories, which is similar to a 30-minute walk.
