Most Intense Sport

What do you think is the most physically intensive and exhausting sport?

I think hockey is, by far, the most intense, with it's enduro-like pace, hard hitting, stop and start action, no other sport can compare.

What are your thoughts?

Posted by: I Are Baboon

I've played hockey, I've played football, and I've played baseball. Mountain biking kicks my ass more than those sports did. There is no pain quite like charging up a steep uphill on a bike. Pain...I mean, real pain. Almost made me puke a few times. Not to mention the possibility of broken bones and blood every time I ride.

Ummmm...you DID click it with the mouse pointer, right. It's not one of those touch-screen buttons. Maybe you should have rebooted your PC. That seems to help sometimes.

Ha! Then you haven't played real hockey! Canadian hockey!

I'm sure Moutain Biking is pretty insane, but try getting run over by a 250lb beast skating towards you @ 40k, with stick pointing straight into your asophagus. (And that's just pick-up hockey!)

Posted by: Dero

That's why I gave up "pick up hockey" and took up MTB You can sorta control da MOUNTAIN!!!

since you did not list boxing, I voted for hockey.

I voted for hockey as well. But I think you should add Lacross to the list. If you want to get the shit kicked outta you, play lacross.

Posted by: mmafiter

I may be a little biased, but I'd like to think that Mixed martial arts/No holds barred fighting is pretty intense. I mean the whole purpose od the sport is to get into a ring or cage and beat the crap outta each other, c'mon!

That ball when properlly hit/smashed travels and aquiers SPEED.
Bang ...OUCH

But yes,MMAF is intense!!!VERY INTENSE!

Posted by: irontime

Don't get me wrong I think hockey kicks ass, but when you are tired you go to the bench and rest up. However, being on a mountain that took you 11km to get on top of and knowing that there is another one waiting for you is frickin exhausting. I'm more of a mountain runner..........well ok, mountain crawler, but since that is not up there I'll have to go with the *gulp* bikers on this one.

Posted by: seyone

I have played alot of sports and none of them have kicked my ass the way that hockey does.

Posted by: animal56

I was trying to mix it up a bit with the poll. I was hoping someone would come out of the closet and vote for ballroom dancing so we could poke fun @ them for the rest of their lives. Just trying to put some fun votes in to keep it lively!

As for boxing/martial arts/UFC, that was a kinda booboo. You'd think I would remember to include those sports with the whole Mike Tyson is a dildo contoversy.

Maybe comparing hockey with mountain biking is like comparing apples and oranges, especially considering mountain biking is such a sissy sport!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm,what's happening here is that suddently everybody thinks that the other's sport is not as intense as their own...
I could make you see that ping pong can be as intense as,let's say hockey.Ever seen pro ping pong player play?
They break into a sweat and they are really moving around that table...
Like it has been pointed out,yes,martial arts is intense,the intent is also intense!!!
I think every sport as dull as you see it,cannot be put down,'cos somebody will/can prove you wrong...
Just my opinion...(my two cents).

You ass monkies, you didn't put rock climbing on there.

I've never seen/partaken in a sport which was so damn rough. Nothing is more intense physically or mentally than climbing.

Stop playing with your balls and grab the rock.

I agree Rock Climbing probably is very intense.

Posted by: naturaltan

Dero ... nicely stated, even if it was only 2 cents worth with change.

I haven't played most of the sports listed, but have boxed at the olympic level and found the training very intense ... I think those talented at boxing make it look easy. But having done it, I found it very intense.

I`m starting to get the feeling that none of you pu$$ie$ have had the pleasure of playing AFL.........Australian football.

More high impact hits than American football AND Rugby put together.............NO PADDING IS ALLOWED.....More fights than any MMA comp............Jumping higher than any basketball player............And much more blood than a boxing match.

God I love it.

For conversations sake, I didn't know if there was a difference between traditional rugby and Aussie Rules, or English Rules for that matter!

I love watching Aussie rules. Damn, if only your women didn't look like sheep, I would consider moving there.

Oh yeah....Aussie rules has absolutely NOTHING in common with any type of rugby other than the use of a ball.

Someone needs to give Elle a sandwich, and Nicole needs to come out into the daylight.

I can't say I disagree with those 2 of course, they are certainly nice, but it doesn't necessarily make everything right.

After all, even the U.S. has some good qualities. I'm not sure what they are, but I've heard that they do.

Posted by: dojdave11

I would have to agree. You need to go A LOT further then those two. Yes, their hot, but come on.

Posted by: senopole

I didn't vote for any of them, because there is no more intense a sport than wrestling. Im talking about the real stuff too, not that WWF shit. Its the most physically draining, technical, grueling sport out there. A mountain might kick your ass, but when you are in the middle of a mat, with all eyes on you, surounded by your team, your opponent, and 360 degrees of stands full of screaming people wanting you to kick the shit out of the other guys ass, you know what pressure is. Imaging using every muscle in your body as much as you can for 3 periods of 3:00. No breaks, nobody to pick you up, nobody to help you, and nobody but yourself to blame if you loose. That my friends is wrestling.

Posted by: dragonfu

for a really rough sport i recommend karamojo( hope i spelled it right). tried it in mombassa, kenya. it's a bastardized version of rugby that is really brutal. during the scrum each side has one player back about 5 yrds(mtrs?) and when the whistle blows they charge full bore into the pile to get the ball. i was bitten, punched, kicked, and tackled when i didn't even have the ball. if you got hurt they ran another guy in and you got off the field as best you could. we american sailors got stomped according to the score but gave as good as we got.
as for intensity i used to race flattrack(motorcycles) on 1/4, and 1/2 mile tracks. being on the track with 10 to 20 guys going as fast as you got the balls to run and being so close you run over each others feet in the slide was better than sex(almost). it's hard to describe the feeling when you saw a pileup in front of you at 70mph and no place to go.

Posted by: Tank316

before GOPRO says it I'l say it...sex,sex and more sex,is an intense sport....

Posted by: Thomas

Full contact Tae Kwon Do is probably the most phisically demanding sport I've ever participated in.

Posted by: nastybull

never moutainbiked so had to go with rugby

Posted by: Spoogy

Considering that in rugby you wear inch long studs on your feet which you are allowed to stomp on peoples backs, feet, hands, knees and ankles with, this adds a level of pain to rugby that can't be beaten for a dam good time. Hockey and american football are the only ones which can match for physical impact but they wear an aweful lot of padding and its easier to skate for 80 minutes than to sprint stop sprint stop.

Posted by: kuso

Rugby is only for those not skillful enogh to play AFL!

Posted by: Hawkens

Out of all those listed I have found that Mountain biking is the most demanding physically and mentally.

Posted by: Spoogy

The problem with AFL is that it is only in Australia so i haven't had the opportunity to try it out, although it is a good game to play at training for a bit of fun. But really, AFL might require some greater catching skills and kicking accuracy, this is about the toughest sport for hard men, and you don't get stomped regularly and rucked or even tackled properly in AFL.

Posted by: kuso

Spoogy, I think we`ll have to agree to disagree here.

You are permitted to tackle just as hard in AFL as in ARL, the hip and shoulder is however more effective sometimes.

Posted by: tiger26

man mountain biking is the most intense.. try feeling your legs after riding a bike..

Posted by: Tooolguy

Full contact Kenpo....very good workout

Posted by: irontime

i already stuck up for mountain biking but I'm gonna push it a little further. I was on the course of the Canadian Death race when my cushioning disc in my knee screwed up on me. I wanted to lie down and die it hurt so bad. But I still had another 11km to go. In any other sport you can go to the locker room and then straight to the hospital. I had to hobble out the course for what seemed like an eternity before I went to the hospital. Now that kicks your ass.

Amen, brutha!

My legs got frickin' destroyed last weekend. I've got cuts and bruises all over them. I took the week off from MTB and the gym to let my body and central nervous system rest up.

australian rules football is the most intense.

Posted by: djbenjo

well i think that cross country running takes it out of me the most, but of those on the list it owuld have to be biking

Posted by: Muscle_Girl

Errrum... How bout you add playin with Barbie dolls to the list

Naw.. my vote was for rugby, very intense sport, and you never leave a game without some sort of injury!

Posted by: digger1

My vote is for Lacrosse. Brendan Shanahan of the Detroit Red Wings said "There has never been any hockey game as intense as the tamest Lacrosse game. Try take a few two handers across the back and then x-checked in the head by 2 guys. Indian rubber ball that those guys can fire at 120mph into a 4" spot. All the while running none stop.

MMA that has to be the hardest. Unless you get your a$$ knocked out real fast

Posted by: KataMaStEr

Where are Martial arts at? I have played Football, Baseball, swimming at varsity level at my High school and I tell you they don’t come close to the intensity of martial arts. I sweat more in 25 min jumping, kicking, punching… Than what I do playing football full gear on for 40 min, And I tell you here in FL it feels like 98 degrees F inside all of the gear, specially when the uniform is like 80% black.

Posted by: Preacher

I've participated in a few of the sports listed (some even on a very high (competitive) level).

Table-Tennis: Don't you go joking on my sport. Try to watch a topmatch (JM Saive vs. J-O Waldner) and not break a sweat. What 'ping-pong' can do to your reflexes and nerves is nothing short of miraculous. I've played tournaments where I won after playing over 36 matches
(starting at 10h30 and ending at midnight) against increasingly stronger opponents.

Basketbal: Kicks ass, especially when you're a running/jumping type like me (no dribbling).
Will leave you a little sore and bruised the day after (but not overly much). Very bad on knees and ankles.

Rock Climbing: not very 'intense' when climbing (unless you like spiderman very much), but will leave you
with intense pain in your forearms and shoulders the day after.

Squash: Cracked my shoulder once, got balls in my eye-sockets and family jewels,
smacked in the head with rockets, ran agains the glass at full speed ... not my kind of game.

Shootfighting: comparable to MMA and/or wrestling: no holds barred, every muscle in your body hurts for three days after (even after training),
you get bruised EVERYWHERE, long-term injuries are very likely to happen, concentration is immensely high (very intense) ...
But will not leave you with the call-it-a-day-now feeling you get from MTB-ing.
I've gone clubbing after some very intense fights ... complete with black eyes!

MTB-ing: This would have to be the one for me. Blame it on my inexperience, but non-stop pedaling, fighting against the road AND yourself,
sweating like a horse, Lactic acid buildups that will not go away, faintness, nauseau, falls, bruises, broken bones,
burn wounds (from licking the asfalt again) are THE ultimate kick for me. There's nothing like going away for a week on bike ... I guarantee you'll be DEAD.

For anyone not into MTB-ing: get yourself some wheels ... NOW!

Don't forget the vomiting. And on those fast rocky downhills, when your arms are killing you and your hands are numb with pain from gripping the handlebars, and something inside you refuses to let you stop for a rest....gotta love it!

I voted hockey from the choices put up, but cross country skiing is the toughest/most intense physically demanding sport there is. The least demanding is american football easily, stop every minute and rest 5 mins for commercial break and eat some funnel cake, fart, stretch and then play another 30-seconds-minute and repeat.

Posted by: Dj_Frost

I agree on Rugby

Posted by: sawheet

I am glad hockey is getting the credit it deserves, it is the most demanding sport. Now mountain biking can kick you ass as well!! Try playing hockey and biking in the same day, that is a tough one.

Posted by: calamity528

I voted for mountain biking. When you do a recreational ride its not that Physically Demanding. But when you're in a race its just pain all the way. Especily when you do the karapoti classic, its 50km and 3 huge climbs. It was voted one of the top 50 mtb races.

Not a chance son, all fighters train for fights. Give a boxer a few months to train for this fight and Fedor will get owned.....you forget many boxers have extensive wrestling and martial arts backgrounds also....plus many grew up street fighting.
