If you are worried about injury risk with sprinting, you could consider rowing. > Physiologists, in fact, have calculated that rowing a two-thousand meter race — the Olympic standard — takes the same physiological toll as playing two basketball games back-to-back. And it exacts that toll in about six minutes. https://archive.nytimes.com/6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/...
