truck 548 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Came across this for a bit of fun http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28062001 First time through it recommendation was to take up wrestling followed by judo. Recommended against me doing long distance athletics! Had another go with a bit more thinking and finally for swimming/riding Link to post Share on other sites
you know 8 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Squash, Hockey and Badminton. Have thought seriously about squash, but decided I would do one triathlon first. (Goal was only enticer distance as well....) That was 4 years and a bunch of sprints OD's, 70.3's and an I/M later, I can confirm I would be much much better at squash. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

trinube 1,777 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hmm, suited to Hockey Badminton Squash Not suited to Long Distance Athletics Shooting Triathlon Ironically I've never played any of the former competitively but have done all the latter... Frankly I think I've gravitated to the sports that most suit me - soccer, touch footy and judo - I've competed in them all at top level Link to post Share on other sites
goughy 3,746 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Netball, hockey and cycling (long distance) for me. Looking at the cycling result, I feel their algorithms are off! No good for boxing, gymnastics and shooting. That's about right of say. My daughter just started netball this season and loves it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Squash, wrestling, & judo. Long Distance athletics was one of the 3 I'm not suited to, and that's with putting a low body fat, high tolerance to pain, prefer to do it alone, & very good endurance. I'd have thought they would have pointed me to endurance stuff. Interesting though, that I did play squash quite a lot as a 20 something. Never did lessons, but could beat the occassional A-grader through sheer tenacity & never giving up. I did run about 5 times what they did though. Link to post Share on other sites

truck 548 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Remember this was UK focused where there are a lot more indoor facilities such as squash courts and the old 'leisure centre' for badminton etc which may be swaying the results. Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Maybe it doesn't give guys the option of Triathlon, as with the Brownlees in the sport, you've got a better chance at squash. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
