Swimming is aerobically difficult. You cannot argue against this. But there is no contact. No defenders. No real strategy where you have to react to the opponent's adjustments. No one punches you in the face or hits you, nobody blocks your shot or whacks you with a stick or gets in your head. Individual sports cannot be the "hardest sport."
Jayden Ross
Boxing and it's not even close.
Carter Bailey
>Swimming >Strict diet You literally eat everything you see to avoid becoming a spooky skellies. Phelps was eating like five times the calories of the average Joe and still looks ten percent body fat. You just carboload all day every day.

The hardest thing about swimming, having done it, is the crushing boredom of staring at a black line for hours on end. It is just relentlessly boring to train swimming. That and trying not to get a boner from the Qt swimming breaststroke in front of you.

The answer is Crew. The lactic acid buildup is super painful. If you want to know how hard it is, try to do a 2k on an erg (rowing machine) while keeping pace at around 1:35 (this is called a split).
Zachary Anderson
MMA is objectively the hardest sport because besides the training, you have to counter someone who's trying to knock you out or submit you.
Jaxon Hernandez
>The lactic acid buildup is super painful You must know how much of a pussy you sound like to anyone that's ever participated in an actual combat sport right?
Zachary Murphy
>the lactic acid buildup is super painful
doesn't that apply to like 90% of sports?
Kayden Foster
Swimming is hard but there's no way the pool isn't heated.
Leo Wood
not really you can be really successful at MMA with shit stamina, most other sports at least require you to be in good shape first
Zachary Gomez
>Swimming >Sport
Colton Garcia
Wrestling is probably the toughest for mid level athletes. I.e. Highschool college.
Professional strong man is by far the most difficult though. The difficult part? The eating. 12,000 calories a day. Weigh 400 pounds. Gonna have a heart attack at 40. Being a strongman is almost suicidal.

It's among the most physically taxing, but a sport practiced exclusively by wealthy white folks is hardly the "toughest."
Easton Diaz
The hardest sport is the one with the most interest in it relative to the amount of people at the elite level. It doesn't matter what you do. If it's "easy" then you have to refine small details to absolute perfection. If the most popular sport was lawnmower racing but only 12 people are in the top league, then that becomes the hardest sport.
Alexander Miller
Collegiate/freestyle wrestling and it's not even close. Greco not quite as much imo.
Fuck any match that goes into overtime.

you think muay thai doesn't require as much stamina as boxing?

Carter Mitchell
This isn't a bad answer but I think top end strongman is technically the toughest. Wrestling is tough while in the match but once the match is over you recover in like an hour. For top tier strongmen you are literally putting you body through so much every second of every day. The fact that so many of them literally stroke out while lifting is proof. Note that this top tier of strongmen only includes like 15 people in the world though at any given time.

It's such bullshit if you're a big man. You should be expected to have less agility than the guards, yet we'd finish within 2 seconds of them. It's even worse if you have an idiot coach who encourages players to hide injuries and "play through" exercise-induced asthma. Even worse when he doesn't understand basic human physiology and ignores the necessity of recovery because "you're young." Getting stuck in a life beholden to morons while you know better is the worst fate.

A pool with warm water is not only slower than colder pools but they get really hot once you start getting into your workout. Most competition pools are as cold as they can be without freezing athletes bodies.
Swimming is a nice way for old people to keep fit, though.

Beer Jousting is by far the hardest. Just the toll it takes on your liver. Aside from that you will eventually be unable to bond in long term relationships and probably wind up in jail. Jail. Do swimmers go to jail? Only if they swim naked in front of little kids or something. Don't tell me about hard til you've had Bubba's twelve hard inches lodged in your colon. Then tell me how "swimming" is the hardest sport. It's in water bro. Swimming is in water. You don't even weigh as much in water. You ever see a duck? They get fat as hell just swimming all day. youtube.com/watch?v=B-bk1qugYmo&t=25s

Ayden Perez
Actually a sensible post
Anthony Nelson
listen leaf, I love training Muay Thai and think it's a great combat sport, but at a high level boxing has much more rigorous training and far more head injuries.
stop embarrassing people who train other shit by downplaying boxing. you do not know what you're saying.
also >Boxing is a joke if you've studied any real martial art >studied any real martial art >studied
please tell me you're some Quebecois retard who doesn't grasp English well enough to say "trained" instead of "studied" otherwise your opinion is even less relevant

there is no reason to even have swimming competitions, everyone should send a video of their perfomance and compare the timing.

>>thinks you can overtrain a 16 year old with after school basketball
You can overtrain anyone if you don't give them a day of rest after two and half hours of intense cardio. Muscles need time to recover if they're going to grow.
Fuck you, dude. I was a pretty good basketball player before high school, but never panned out because of his ineptitude. If I had known better I would have transferred and fulfilled my potential.

If you were that fucking weak, then you never should have been able to pass a physical to let you play. I wrestled in high school with a heart murmur, and I did absolutely fine. I threw up exactly one time over the course of four years because I decided to drink milk right before practice, completely my fault. Your coach was right, you were wrong.

Retard, you have to recover in order to build muscle and compete at optimal ability. Overtraining is a bad thing on every level.
