organization defines "light sports"; such as cricket, golf and sailing as those
burning off 2.5 to 5.0 calories per minute. * Research revealed that bowling
consumes 5.45 calories per minute. * Bowling therefore ranks alongside other
moderate sports including swimming, tennis and horse back riding. * A bowler
will traverse nearly 3 kilometres for every nine games bowled. * A bowler
will swing a ball that can weigh anywhere from 6 to 16 pounds and make over 180
shots. * Tenpin Bowling exercises practically all
the muscles and is a game, which can be played all year round by people of all
ages.
