It depends on the city or state in which you live. In the USA, people can get hired as Physical Therapy assistants with just an Associate's Degree (two years of college); but to move up and have one's own practice requires at least a 4-year college degree, and some jobs require a Master's degree (an additional year and a half).

What is easier a physical therapist or sports medicine doctor?

If you mean, is it easier to perform the jobs of a physical therapist or a sports doctor, then the physical therapist will probably exert more muscles in the course of a day's work than a doctor would. Both have to carry liability insurance and the mental anguish associated with the need to have that insurance. It is easier and quicker to go to school to become a physical therapist than it is to become a licensed physician specializing in sports medicine. It is harder physically to be a physical therapist, but it is harder intellectually and educationally to be a physician- because you will have to go one of the MD (medical doctor), DC (chiropractor)or ND (naturopathic doctor)routes.
