Question: If a person played a lot of football non stop, is it possible for their legs to fall off???

I don’t think this would happen no…well at least I hope not! They might just collapse due to exhaustion..it might get pretty tiring!

First your muscles would suffer from a build up of lactic acid and energy depletion which would effectively stop them from being able to move their legs. That’s boring so lets assume that we’ve found some way to keep the legs moving. eventually, after many years the ligaments that hold the joint together could break, but then the muscles would still hold the legs on. Even to get the ligaments to break would take a lot of football, as they don’t normally wear out in an entire life time.
So no, I can’t make it work, but they could break from a build up of micro-fractures, if we can get around the stiff leg problem.

This is a funny question! I don’t think their legs would fall off, but I’ve never tested it so I can’t be sure! I think they would need to stop at some point before this happened to eat or drink or go the the toilet, and sleep.

I had a friend at school whose leg fell off during a football match in France. It wasn’t a problem though as he had a spare in his suitcase. We just put him in goal for a while until someone went to get it. I think he still did better than Robert Green though. He didn’t have a leg to stand on!

This could be possible but i don’t think it should be tried. You may get injured before your legs fall off so it might hurt to play. DO you play a lot of football?
