Yes, and then we have Handball which is quiet physical but plays back to back or with less rest.

Could be one explanation. But look at bandy, the pitch is about the same size as a football pitch and is performed by 11 players per team, playing 2 *45 minutes. Of course they sometimes rotate the player's but can easily play two days in a row. When it comes to tactics you're right about Basketball and Handball for example. You have more times to build up your offensive and defensive, but not when it comes to ice hockey when you're given no time att all to rest, wether you're defending or attacking. Wether one sport has less or more tactics or strategys to choose from I can't tell.
