These two sports are highly antagonistic and the competition process is full of uncertainty, which attracts the attention of many fans. So, which of these two sports consumes more energy?
Generally speaking, the physical consumption of football matches is greater.

Both basketball and football are played, and basketball is played more. To tell the truth, the confrontation level of the wild court is actually that basketball is more tired, because the basketball court is small, everyone has to run back, defend and rebound, and every run is a sprint speed; The football field is closer and runs farther, but because of the poor level of the field, many people will not run all over the field, so the striker stays in the frontcourt for a walk, and the defender stays in the backcourt for a walk, so they can chat for a while and then run.

However, in the professional arena, the consumption of football is greater, because for superstars, it is likely to rely on personal ability to withdraw from the frontcourt to the backcourt to get the ball, defend and organize the attack from the midfield. For example, when Messi and others sprint with the ball, they almost run at a speed of 100 meters, which is fast, strong and long. Most people can't slow down once, but football superstars are likely to sprint dozens of times throughout the stadium.

Although the basketball game lasts only 48 minutes, every basketball player must participate in every round of the court, whether it is offensive or defensive. If a basketball player takes a step in the game, it's almost time for the player to be replaced by the coach, even if the team is not behind the score.
It can be seen that the duration of the game is not the only criterion to measure which sport is more tiring, and 90 minutes is not the reason why playing football is necessarily more tiring than playing basketball. After all, if basketball players are really allowed to play all the games, who dares to let basketball players who have played all the games play back-to-back games except some players with excellent physical fitness?
In fact, in football, there is no real super giant's style of play, because football is a real team sport, and individual talent can't completely dominate the game, so everyone needs to run and cooperate all the time, and basketball sometimes only needs to break out a superstar at a critical moment to take away the game.
