Depends upon the level. If you watch any Formula 1, those guys have to be in incredible shape to withstand the G forces on their body and to operate the vehicles. With no power-assisted anything, I understand it takes about 80 lbs pressure to operate the brakes on those cars. The reaction times necessary are inhuman. My understanding is that the 2 hardest things in sports, or competitions if you prefer, are hitting a baseball and operating a formula 1 car at full speed.
