Pros no, but people have passed out at the wheel before. A 70 year old man would put himself into an early grave if he was constantly racing F1 cars.

Also most people have the required physical skills to compete at the highest level of most sports. I could get as fit and strong as a professional rugby player. It'd take a few years of work, but there's no reason I couldn't do it if I put the work in. So that point is a bit null.

This whole thing about sports requiring some physical element is complete bullshit and just comes around as when people think of the most popular sports (football in england for example) they require physical fitness.
