just an inquiry I've come across recently, after sports retirement which can differ depending on the sports obviously would leave a person healthier in the long run compared to other sports?
In football they say that a a running back's average career span is 6 years. in a Documentary called Power politics, not just a game average playtime in the NFL is 3.5 years, players lifespans get cut dwon by 20 years and I heard a quote i heard was "if you want to play in the nfl, say goodbye to your mid-life" 1 in 3 players get a concussion in their career.
professional wrestling is probably the worst in my opinion, over 100 have died before the age of 50 in the past decade.
I don't know about many other sports but as a soccer fan many greats go on to old age.
