Superally Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Was talking the other day about which sportsmen/woman were the fittest. football players didn't really get a mention but there was fair discussion over grand prix drivers, gymnasts, swimmers and rugby players. However I thought Tennis players had the greatest overall fitness of all sportsmen. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Its a very good question Superally, and one that doesn't have a definite answer due to the different types of punishment some bodies take.For me, Rugby League possibly? Big hits batter the body, but the game is played at a greater intensity than Rugby Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Deadpool Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 It's not really a question that has an answer. The vast majority of professional sports people are fit, but in different ways. The types of levels of fitness vary quite a bit over different sports as different sports have different requirements.
