this is so easy

golf.

[fritz]

DONGCATHALON.

[Drazkers]

If you want sheer size, power and speed then its easily american football...
Don't like it but that sport pushes the limits of the human body.

Hockey

if you ask any professional athlete which sport has the toughest, most conditioned athletes, the majority of them will say hockey players.

[Grapes]

Boxing, Rugby, Hockey. The end.

cardio vascular endurance wise though?

hockey players don't look especially cut. however you rarely see them with their shirt off *no homogay*

karelin can do a backflip in one spot and the splits too, apparently

Bob Sanders runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, and Polamalu has been clocked in 4.3 seconds. Safeties typically weigh about 200 pounds. I wanna see some ice hockey enforcers do this. John daily is the king for waking up hung over in his car on game day.

football players are basically gigantic track athletes.

explosive power? of course. cardio? bring out the oxygen masks.

hockey players are up there but its different then soccer, its all small bursts all game long 30second shifts ect ect as opposed to playing 80min straight or however long soccer games go.

Didn't think about mma, your right its better then football, soccer has great stamina and speed but is seriously lacking in strength.

Was going to argue that few if any sports really cover all the bases until MMA waded into this.

I'll argue that, if your team is only just making first downs and is making small gains it can be a long time running especially if you a receiver who is sprinting down the field every down. In the NFL you get a ridiculous number of down.

ya as far as having everything its mma for sure.

straight up cardio is soccer players, thats been proven in studies.

explosive str would probly be football players

a combo of cardio and str would be rugby

all depends on what aspect your asking about.
