Best Sports & Physical Activities

In terms of universal transferable application level, what are the best exercises and sports to train in? I suspect that weightlifting is one of them, because it involves mainly strength but also other elements which can carry over easily into many other areas. So I am really looking for those activities to train in which can be transferred to yet more physical areas, universal physical attributes.

I think the Octathlon for men should be: 100 meter sprint, 5 km run, long jump, javelin, 400 meter swim freestyle, weightlifting, table tennis, wrestling freestyle. For women: 100 meter sprint, 5 km run, high jump, discuss, 400 meter swim freestyle, archery, tennis, judo. Perhaps a couple sports can be worth double points.

In regards to general physical activities, perhaps various forms of ninja-style climbing and gymnastics training may be very beneficial.
