    I have no idea what section to put this in, but...Football is about once a week, but you take big hits and that's demanding.Basketball is about every other night, and you run a lot.Soccer is very wearing, I don't know how often they play.Baseball isn't so demanding, but they play about every day for months.I don't know which is the most wearing... what do you guys think?

    I think soccer because you have to run up and down that huge field for 45 minutes at a time with no timeouts and still have to have the energy to kick it past the goalkeeper or keep up with a speedy forward.

    you get to stand still in soccer! when the ball is not near you you stay put and wait - to a degree. Basketball is about going flat out for 48 mins!

    It's half the length of a soccer game with 15-20x more breaks in between. I know it's hard, trust me i've nearly thrown up trying to push myself in a bball game but there's plenty of running in soccer, especially for forwards. They look more tired near the end of the game than any other athletes i've watched.

    Football. Although your not always playing, your either on offense or defense, and it is only once a week, you have to wear a ton of padding and the practices during the weak are intense. I know soccer is very demanding, but I'd definately say football.

    I think football is the most demanding sport in quick spurts, but soccer is a very demanding endurance sport.

So i know how much players have to do. And I think bball is by far more draining.What about rugby league? Its a pro sport over here. they run all the time and have to put up with being tackled too.Check it..... no padding like gridion!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9vTHXT8FwI...related&search=

    LMAO you think that Waterpolo is a pokemon. No, it's a sport where you try to score goals while in a pool. Go wikipedia it.

    people dont know how physically demanding tennis is until they play it competitively. its definitely not the most demanding, but it's underrated, if that makes any sense..

    Wrestling by far has to be the most challenging sport; at least the training part. As far as the actual game, I gotta give it to Soccer, you are constantly moving, and if you are a mid-fielder you are at least gonna run like 10 miles a game.

    Its football. You work everyday, 3 hours practices, rain or shine. Just hard core. I rather have basketball 7 days a week then 4 days of football.
