As to contemporaries who I feel are more physical, Yul Brynner, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster come to mind.

Well,in Planet of the Apes he'd just spent X number of years in suspended animation,that's not something conducive to staying in good physical shape
I see nobody's mentioned his greatest role,Moses.I'm proof that you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy it,the sets,the rest of the cast,the special effects that still look good today! One of my favorite movies.
bit of trivia: Ben-Hur was written by the Territorial Governor of New Mexico,Lew Wallace,who could've pardoned Billy the Kid,but there's evidence that he was in cahoots with the Kid's enemies
