A glossary key is included at the bottom of the grid that explains each category. On the grid below, click on each sortable category to find out how our 60 sports rank in each skill. That number places the difficulty of performing each sport in context with the other sports we rated. By totalling and averaging their responses, we arrived at a degree-of-difficulty number for each sport on a 1 to 100 scale. We identified 10 categories, or skills, that go into athleticism, and then asked our eight panelists to assign a number from 1 to 10 to the demands each sport makes of each of those 10 skills. They're the ones who told us that boxing is the most demanding sport - and that fishing is the least demanding sport. Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes succeed and fail.
