What is the most physically demanding sport?

[squealpiggy]

American football is the only that even comes close to rivaling Boxing/MMA. Give me another sport where the purpose is to punch your opponent in the face for 12 rounds, and it will be more physically demanding that boxing.

European football? LOL, are you serious?

Actually it involves a great deal of wear and tear, the fact that there are very limited substitutions and no time-outs means that fatigue is a huge factor in injuries and the schedules are crazy especially at the highest level and especially around Christmas time. American football involves a maximum of 24 games per year. Compare that to a top premier league team who could potentially play 100+ games in a season if you factor in league, cup and European games. And that's when it isn't a world cup season.

Let's compare the brutality of American vs. European football. Especially the offensive line vs. the defensive line. Now come back to me and tell me that a bunch of 5'5" Euro prisses running around a pitch is more physically demanding than American football. And this is coming from a European.

rugby is the most abusive and damaging to your body.

dude, you just said that european football is more demanding than boxing. You just said that tennis is more demanding than boxing. In european football, it is taught to exaggerate every foul that is committed against you in hopes of drawing yellow or red cards. european football players are the biggest ******* of any sport, golf and bowling included. And this is coming from a european football fan.

Word.

Obviously any sport that requires pads from head to toe is extremely physically demanding.

Boxing. Tie for second would be between swimming, gymnastics, and something like triathlon training.
