There are a whole bunch of sports, games, activities and hobbies which are summed up in the clumsy set descriptor human strength and skill expressed through wonderful toys.  Cycling, kayaking, kiting, archery, skateboarding, surfing, all this stuff that has fantastic tech but no engines or brains.  The Germans must have a word for it.  Is there one in English?

You want "Kraft" instead of "Staerke" I reckon.

"Menchsekraftundfaehigkeitausgedrucktdurchwunderbarspielzeug" was my attempt :-)

Mmm, that scans. :)

You're right though - my international-branded tub of High5 says "Fur Kraft und Ansdauer" wich, according to the English version, is "For strength and endurance"...
