Insider talked to personal trainer Craig Weller of Precision Nutrition about which athletes in Tokyo are likely to be burning the most, and least, calories. How many calories athletes burn reflects both intensity and duration.

At the Olympic level, everyone's operating at the highest intensity, so duration matters most, Weller said. Olympic marathon swimmers and triathletes each clock in just under two hours, while the marathon record is just over two hours — eeking out a likely calorie burn victory. Take US runner Galen Rupp, whose best time is — a minute-mile pace for Given his pound size, he burns about Endurance athletes' training focuses on teaching the body to use each of those calories smartly.

While running burns slightly more calories than swimming minute-by-minute given the force of the body on the ground, Weller said, swimmers likely burn more than other athletes day-to-day given their long training hours: often around six hours of straight swimming, day after day. Professional athletes in every sport work hard, but just how hard do they work?

Their workouts can be as tough as their actual performance, and a bad workout could force a player into retirement. During a game, if they go too hard, injuries can happen at anytime to any player as well.

An easy way is to figure out just how many calories these professional athletes are burning during a game. Connor Toole at BroBible did the legwork on this and here are his findings, from the sport with the least calories burnt on average to the sport with the most. You may think that all that running and jumping burns more calories than other sports, but apparently not.

In fact, according to Gizmodo , the average basketball player runs about 2. Next on this list is hockey. Hockey is a very physical sport, with lots of skating, shoving, and sometimes even fighting.
