I've seen reaction videos on Youtube where basketball and soccer fans watch hockey for the first time, and most are shocking by the skill and athleticism exhibited. ESPN did a thorough study asking what sports are the hardest and most skilled to play. The study featured a panel of experts from "a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes" The analysis was based on 10 categories or skills, including: ENDURANCE STRENGTH POWER SPEED AGILITY FLEXIBILITY NERVE DURABILITY HAND-EYE COORDINATION ANALYTIC APTITUDE HOCKEY was ranked the #1 team sport, scoring 71.750, second overall to boxing which scored 72.375. Football was #3 with 68.375 Basketball was #4 with 67.875 https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/sportSkills .... there was also a second study released in the spring I believe from a group that does unbiased studies, and they came to the same conclusion and rankings (can't remember the name of the organization or find the link to the article) |
