Since the beginning of the last century, it has become fashionable to play sports. Widespread propaganda, then and now, argued that sports were good for health. Let's figure it out together, is this so and which of the sports is more useful?
The development of the sports direction as such made it possible to use sports as an industry that allows them to bring income to the state treasury. We will not go into the details of such earnings for athletes and the state. Let's focus on the sport itself.
The fact is that any sport implies certain records that need to be broken. That is, athletes have to give all their best that they work for wear and tear. The entire body of athletes is experiencing incredible stress. Having achieved the desired result, the athlete raises the bar of achievement and strives for it. This process ends in only one or more of four cases:
- serious injury, - retirement, or coaching, - retirement from sports,
- death.
We do not take the latter into account, but in the first three the athlete stops torturing himself daily. Accordingly, the body "reminds" him of all the previously inflicted bullying, and diseases are falling like snow on his head. Many former athletes are frankly bewildered how it turns out that they have been / have been involved in sports all their life, but it turns out that he / she has thinned joint cartilage, prolapse of the uterus and many other health surprises?
It's very simple, if someone decides to devote his life to sports, he must be prepared for the fact that sports are not only a hobby and apparent health, but also one of the dangerous professions. Also, it is worth considering that by the age of forty, many of his organs will be worn out so much that disability is even possible.
What are the healthiest sports?
Yes, none! The only sports movements that every person is simply obliged to perform on a daily basis are:
- walking, including shopping. Moving, but without exhausting efforts for at least two hours, is useful.
- running, calm and rare. That is, you can run to the stop if you do not catch the bus / tram / trolleybus.
- swimming, it relaxes and relieves stress.
Thus, it turns out that the only useful sport is life itself, however, without constant sitting on the fifth point. By the way, lifting and carrying weights is also violence against the body. Better to go to the grocery store ten times, taking healthy walks, than to bring everything home once and at once.
Remember, you can go in for sports, but not to the detriment of your health. Sport should bring joy and relief / vigor to the body, and if sport exhausts it, it means that the body is working hard and the consequences of such a hobby will be very sad.
