So a hockey player is more over worked than a full time laborer in the construction industry? I’ve never heard of something so stupid in my life.
The point flew about 3 feet over your head.
Fatigue impacts a hockey player's ability to be effective at their job significantly more than a person working in construction. There isn't a construction worker alive who shows up to work everyday ready to perform at 100% of their peak physical capacity and outperform other people who are also performing at peak physical capacity.
Do you really not understand that professional sports require peak physical conditioning? Do you not understand that a construction worker showing up to work able to give 75% of his best is able to successfully perform his job duties while a professional athlete giving 85% will be unable to successfully perform his job duties? I interact almost daily with construction workers who are able to perform their job duties despite showing up almost every day hungover and/or actively under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They can still do their job well enough to keep it because construction doesn't require a person to put forth anything close to 100% of their physical capacity.
And yes, pro athletes 100% put more physical work into their job than a construction worker. That's why they can run faster, run longer, lift more and lift that weight more times than construction workers. They are able to hone their physical attributes
because the rest of their schedule is tailored towards being in peak physical condition. The training/practice/game schedule of a pro athlete is without question more intense than a construction worker's day. That is offset by pro athletes having a team of people around them to maximize nutrition and having about 4 times as much free time to recover than us schmucks working 8-10 straight hours a day.
Being a pro athlete would be a fantastic job. I'd take it over being a construction worker every day of the week. That doesn't mean it takes less physical exertion though.
I'd love your explanation for how construction workers consistently perform more total physical exertion in order to be in consistently worse shape than pro athletes though.
