Have you ever had a debate with a friend about comparing sports and which ones might be more difficult? Some sports are legitimately harder than others, and in the realm of outdoor sports, a few are in a league of their own. In today's video, we show you the hardest sports to master and the one that takes the crown as the most difficult sport.
The world's most difficult sports are tough to learn, can be dangerous to perform, and require a high degree of skill and fitness. Take rock climbing, for instance, which requires explosive upper-body strength, problem-solving, and crux-time focus. Downhill mountain bikers regularly risk shattered bones, while open-water swimmers push themselves to the limit in unforgiving conditions. Nordic skiers force their bodies deep into oxygen debt, and ultrarunners - well, you get the idea.
According to sports scientists, in the hardest sports, injuries also play a role. They take into consideration the average number of injuries per 1,000 hours of an athlete’s activity and fatality rates.
While there has long been debate over who the greatest athletes are and which sports produce them, there isn’t nearly as much discussion over which sport is the most difficult sport.
All in all, in the toughest sports there is always more hardship and difficulty than what meets the eyes. It’s not just physical exhaustion, but also the mental concentration required in these sports. It’s the willingness to confront not only your opponent but also your own fear.
All the sports in this video have all been ranked in a range of attributes (endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, hand-eye coordination, nerve, durability, and analytic aptitude). So let's take a look at the most difficult sports in the world!
