Badminton vs tennis
An hour of badminton burns about 405 kcal, an hour of tennis about 590. Tennis wins by 185 kcal.
The difference
185 kcal burned
A tennis court is much bigger, so there is more running between shots and the rallies cover more ground. Badminton is quick and sharp, but in a casual game in the sports hall there is more standing about.
How hard you play matters more than the sport. A competitive singles game of badminton is a lot of work; a gentle doubles knock about in tennis is not. These numbers are for about 70 kg.
Even 30 minutes of tennis is about 295 kcal. In Caltype just type "badminton 1 hour".
