Motocross, The Most Physically Demanding Sport In The World

Many people think that motocross is one of the easiest sports in the world. Half of them don't even consider it a sport. For the longest time in the world, soccer was rated the most physically demanding sport just until a year ago when motocross passed it up. People who have never rode dirt bikes think all you do is sit on it and turn the gas.

Motocross is the most heart wrenching, adrenaline flowing body crushing sport in the world. Your heart rate stay's between 170-200 beats per minute for up to a time of 35-40 minutes constant. In hockey, football, soccer any other sport you go out for shifts, you have whistles and breaks. Motocross is a non stop sport for 40 minutes using every single muscle in your body.

It takes every muscle in your body to do this. There is no other sport or training that you can do to recreate what it takes to ride motocross for 40 minutes. There are workout and training devices that can help but nothing compares to racing. The demand your body goes through from riding is like no other sport, and you will not be walking the next day. You physically push your body to the limits as one of my good buddies did in a race and fried the organs inside his body and had a heat stroke and passed away.

  1. This quite shocking to me as well. But when you take into consideration that you have to control a bike that is well over 100lbs (I assume), that is incredible.
