Curling blends precision, balance, sweeping effort, and strategic movement on ice. Delivery requires control and stability, while sweeping can add short bursts of higher effort. The activity is usually moderate overall, with intensity depending on role, match pace, and how much sweeping is involved.

Benefits
Curling combines strategy, balance, delivery control, sweeping effort, and teamwork. Sweeping can add short cardio bursts while delivery work challenges precision on ice.
What to watch out for
Ice, lunging positions, and sweeping can stress balance, knees, shoulders, and backs. Use safe footwear, warm up shoulders and hips, and avoid overreaching on slippery surfaces.
