No other sport requires such sustained physical effort while conditions are violently atttempting to knock you down.

I am sure that they are phenominal athleates but .. I have always heard of water polo players having to be in the best shape. Cardio-vascular conditioning is only part of any sport. While it's a major part of road cycling and marathoning (and as you mention water polo players) it's of no importance whatsoever in other recognized sports such as baseball and baseball's equivalent, tiddlywinks. Not...quite...true. Baseball -- like ski racing -- is anaerobic rather than aerobic, true, but you can't develop anaerobic fitness without an aerobic fitness base. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. |
