I agree with this but would only add that the two probably go hand-in-hand. As a rook, you're overwelmed by the playbook, the intricate technique you're supposed to be mastering, by the speed of the game, etc. Thus, you spend a lot of time thinking rather than playing (and, for things like technique, thinking while you're playing). I suspect that a fair amount of physical exhaustion partly stems from always wondering and worrying that you're in the right place, running the right play, applying the proper technique, etc. Once this becomes second nature, I suspect the physical requirements of it will diminish as well.
