Who are fitter - basketball players or tennis players?

Which sport, basketball or tennis, do you think requires the fittest athletes?

Determining whether basketball players or tennis players are fitter is challenging because both sports demand high levels of fitness but in different ways. The varied physical and mental demands make direct comparisons difficult, but we are asking you to decide anyway. Sorry, there is no room for fence-sitters, you have to choose one or the other.

When the poll was closed in 2025, tennis players were a little ahead in the voting.
