Spitting in Sport

[KeithD]

I used to play both games and tennis was far less tiring than football.. No doubt about it.
That doesn't mean I condone gobbing in public etc.

Both footy and tennis players burn an average of 518 calories an hour. Footballers are only on the pitch for 90 minutes though, tennis players 2-5 hours, so they can burn 1000-2500+ compared with around 770 a footballer will use during a game. Hence the reason tennis players have to eat and drink during a game to ensure they keep up energy levels, whereas footballers will only snack at half-time.
