Table tennis vs tennis
An hour of tennis burns about 590 kcal, an hour of table tennis about 295. Tennis burns 295 kcal more, twice as much.
The difference
295 kcal burned
On a tennis court you sprint, stop and turn for every ball. At a ping pong table you mostly shuffle a step or two, and that is where the difference comes from.
Half an hour of tennis is about 295 kcal, the same as a whole hour of table tennis. These numbers are for about 70 kg.
Play the one you can actually get to. A table in the garden gets used more than a court across town. In Caltype just type "table tennis 1 hour".
