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 ;)
 
Errrum... How bout you add playin with Barbie dolls to the list :D

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

Damn, sounds fun :scared:

You are playing basically football without any pads to protect yourself.
 
i'm really suprised you don't have wrestling or ju-jitsu up there i don't care how in shape you are if your able to wrestle non-stop for ten minutes it will destroy how tired you get from any of these sports
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
MMA or Boxing, nothing else even comes close
 
Vale Tudo (like MMA)...


Abu Dhabi submission grappling... 15 minute rounds, no GI.
 
Wrestling.............................and this, coming from a football and basketball coach! In an evenly matched wrestling duel it is a battle of stamina and strength! I have the utmost respect for all that wrestle. However, I have never met a wrestler that didn't wish they could play hoops! :-)
 
Speed golf at night with tackling allowed on the fairways! Or no pads tackle football in the neighborhood alleyway with brickwalls as out of bounds markers

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.

Not a chance for any boxer vs Fedor son, all fighters train for fights. Give a boxer a few months to train for this fight and Fedor will still pwn ... don't forget many boxers have extensive experience getting their asses kicked by fighters with wrestling and martial arts backgrounds ... plus many grew up street fighting.

You're intuitive insight into MMA is expanding with each new day son. Soon you will shed those childish boxing ways and grow into a true MMA fan :clapping::clapping::thumb:
