Excellent physics lesson.
Presumably we can use the same idea to even out the effort changes of each player (depending on their proximity to the action) rather than using hills to illustrate it. ?
Then 5 hours 6 times a week rather than 2x45 mins 2 times a week.
See that photo above where Kun had a shot in the 64th minute? Well it didn't go in to the net, it hit the bar.
Footballers can play for a million hours, but if the ball doesn't go into the net then you don't win the match.
Like you said yourself, how you are comparing the two sports which vastly different is beyond me.
Cyclists have a bike to aide them, and all of their energy goes into a bike. Footballers are playing directly on a surface, twisting and turning constantly, stretching for balls, getting kicked in ankles, etc.
By the way I aint having a go at cyclists, it's a hard sport, but a totally different one from football.
