I didn't. I just said that tennis requires more exertion than many other sports. But like you said, it's exertion in different ways, so saying that has no intrinsic value anyways. .-.
Forgive me, I added a word I shouldn't have My point still stands that just because the exertion is different, doesn't make it any less.

I wouldn't consider marching band itself to be pure sport, though it contains much of the same qualities. I believe it's filed under the category of "marching arts." I just mentioned guard because I do a lot of running and practicing for it
