Source Analysis Verdict:
Soccer demands exceptional endurance and continuous high-intensity interval running, contrasting with sumo's mass-heavy impact or gymnastics' short explosive bursts.
Engine: Realtime kinetic agent collisions & validated metabolic expenditure pipeline.

Quora Context Analysis: "Is soccer a heavy sport?"
Unlike heavy collision sports (Sumo, Rugby), soccer's "heaviness" is physiological: 90 minutes of unceasing deceleration, high-speed eccentric loading across 10-12 km, and repeated isometric wrestling for positional balance. Usain Bolt's failed transition demonstrated that world-class raw linear speed cannot compensate for the missing aerobic endurance base and multidirectional deceleration capacity.
