I  don't  changing  to  another  sport  would necessarily  cause  more
calories to be burnt during a workout.

Cross-country skiing, swimming,  and squash  are  sports in which many
different groups of muscles  are used.   However, if you  don't have a
fairly good  technique,  these sports are not that effective.  For how
long do you think you will be able struggle not to sink before you get
too  tired?  I guess, people unfamiliar with cross-country skiing will
not be able to keep on for many minutes before being to tired. And you
don't burn many calories playing squash if you spend most of the  time
picking up the ball.

That is the good part about running. Everyone has the technique needed
to do a decent workout.
