In the Cotto fight, that was the busiest that I've seen Floyd in a LONG time. He really upped his work rate in that fight. You have ignored this user.

LOL you are simply delusional

An MMA bout is a non stop 5 mintues of brutal physical and emotional tolls. It goes on for 3 or 5 rounds

Striking, grappling, clinching etc

You are using your whole body for combat. Its extranious work on the body and mind

Only the baddest of mother fuckers can fight at a high level. You have to have the heart and savagery for it!

Mean while an NBA player jogs up and down a small court. There are many breaks inbetween plays. Commericials too etc

Cut out all the bullshit and how much time does an NBA players actually spend running during a game. Very little! Same is the case with football

Most big goofy NBA players will just sit in the paint all game as well!

Put an NBA player in an MMA match and he gasses within seconds or gets his spirits broken within the first punch that lands on him from a high level MMA fighter

Roy Nelson looks like obese. MMA isn't all it's cracked up to be..

College Athletes and Sudden Cardiac Death: Why Do Male Basketball Players Have Such a High Risk?
MATTHEW PHILIPS
08/23/2011 | 12:15 pm

Photo: Schlüsselbein2007
There's an interesting story in today's Wall Street Journal, by Katherine Hobson about a new method some cardiologists have come up with to better diagnose life-threatening heart conditions among student athletes. Apparently, since the hearts of well-conditioned athletes sometimes put out more electrical voltage than average, their ECG's can often look like that of someone with a heart problem. This has led to an underestimation of the risks that sudden cardiac death (SCD) poses to student athletes, according to the study, even though it's their leading medical cause of death during exercise. The findings were published this month in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. You can read the abstract here.
What really caught my eye though was an info-graphic the WSJ ran next to the story. Using data from Circulation, the graphic depicts the overall rates of SCD, from high to low, per year from 2004 to 2008 among NCAA college athletes, broken out by different sports. I've reproduced it in a table below:

Overall Men Women
Basketball 1 in 11,394 1 in 6,993 1 in 37,799
Swimming 1 in 21,293 1 in 34,552 1 in 16,457
Lacrosse 1 in 23,357 1 in 19,770 1 in 30,531
Football 1 in 38,497 1 in 38,497 N/A
Cross-Country 1 in 41,695 1 in 59,484 1 in 32,801

Why, I wonder, do male basketball players have such an abnormally high rate of SCD compared to other athletes? And why do female swimmers rate so high as well?

They spend 48 minutes playing basketball. The clock stops every time they do stop briefly for anything (free throws, timeouts, inbounding the ball) so they actually do spend the entire game actually playing basketball, which actually does include almost non-stop sprinting and explosive movements and jumping. They cannot really stall or just pass and play keep away because there is a 24 second shot clock.

Would an NBA player tire quickly trying to grapple with an mma fighter? Of course. Drop an mma fighter in a game with the 07 Suns and they are likely in need of a break in just a couple minutes as well. They are completely different, one undergoes 8 weeks of preparation for one big night, whereas the other puts their body (legs/knees, specifically) through an NBA game for several months.

I'm not sure how you could even compare the two, but from some of your comments I seriously doubt you have watched enough NBA games to know what you are talking about if ever a whole game at all.

PS - NBA players have run marathons. You also called your favorite fighter a "clueless tard" and never returned to the thread. Phone Post
