Question

What are the top three most physically demanding high school sports, in order?

Answer 1

I think so, it is definetly one of the harder sports to play because you need to learn how to skate, you can't just start running and incorporate that into the game. Then you have to mix that with getting hit watching the play as it develops and finding your open teammate, and it's much faster then football even if its just as physical. I think nerve should be higher personally, hockey players can take slap shots in the mid 90s sometimes in the 100s, a puck is frozen and it hurts if you get hit with it where there isn't a lot of padding. Goalies are crazy (your job is to get in front of these 90-100 mph shots). I gotta agree with boxing being #1 though, most demanding, you gotta be in full phyisical condition or else you are putting yourself in severe danger, and one wrong move can get you hurt badly. Getting punched in the face and the ribs for 12 rounds is tough to do, I'd put that up top. To the guy who said that hockey players have to make line changes, hockey players play on both sides of the game, they play Defence and Offence, football players have their position and then when the other team gets the ball they go sit down.

Answer 2

Water polo and swimming tied for 1

Then I would say wrestling (at my school, they have 4 hour practices- running for about 3 of the 4)

And finally, field hockey (mens or womens- on average, a midfielder will run over 2 miles in a game. there are no offsides- unlike soccer- so a player can sprint 100 yds- the entire length of the field- at one time)



May be bias:

I swim and play field hockey. Yep, I'm a midfielder :)
