Sports Are Poles the „fittest“ Europeans?

Currently Poland for the weekend, and It seems like the average pole is either „military buff fit“, or „cyclist endurance fit“. I mean even the dudes with the plumber-bodies despite having a beer-belly, have arms that could lift trucks. That type of „farmer-strength“ build

If Europe ever was to do a similar version of that Netflix show in South Korea „physical: 100“, it should definitely take place here.

Absolutely not. I would say Dutch with their cycling craze and Norwegians with their trekking habits are way, wayy more fit. French have better diet. Poland is quite low on life expectancy comparing to the Western Europe.
