Sports Specific Training To Get Healthy And Fit

By Audrey McGuire


Sports specific training is important to avoid any injury during exercise. Each sport has its own movement that is completely different from another sport. These exercises first need to be familiarized with because you might be injured if you just jump into an exercise that you are not entirely familiar with. All the athletics have specialized movements that need to be learned beforehand.

The basketball sport is a very popular game mainly because it is an all around sport that requires the athlete serious training and skills. Males dominate in this area because movements are tough and manly. It is a contact sport that can sometimes be violent because opponents can be very aggressive towards other players.

Volleyball requires quick and fast movements from the players. There would be lateral actions of the feet and legs when trying to receive the ball. When they are about to spike the ball, there is forward movement and jumping by the players. You should train your body to have great stamina for this type of sport.

Badminton is a popular sport in the Philippines and Asia because it is not an expensive sport to play. You will only need a shuttlecock, a racket, and a friend. Training can be easy, and athletes learn fast. The only thing that is hard in this sport is when you are trying to master the techniques. The movement is somewhat similar to volleyball, but badminton has a quicker pace.

Tennis may look very similar to the sport of badminton, but they are different on a lot of principles. The footing is completely different, and also the steps of the athlete. The large muscles that are used are also not the same as that in badminton. The pace in tennis is slower, but strength requirement is greater. Tennis is an expensive sport mainly because of the large space it occupies.

Taekwondo is a wonderful martial art that makes use of the strength and power of the athlete. It is an individual sport that opposes you to another athlete who is in the same level as you. You will score points by kicking your opponent without him blocking it. If he gets to block your kicks, you do not merit a point. Punches may be used, but they have no bearing on the player's score.

Muay Thai on the other hand is also a martial arts sport. It has a deep origin that roots back to Thai ethnic groups. The kicks and punches are more graceful than taekwondo. You are allowed to grapple and bring down your opponent. The kicks are more versatile, and so are the punches.

When you partake in football, you will have to train your muscles to endure long runs. Football requires the athletes to run up and down the field to chase after the ball and to kick it towards the goal. Although there are many players per team, the field is very large and can be tiresome too. Train properly and warm up for this sport for a longer playing time.

Each athlete needs his own specific equipment, along with his own sports specific training. If you want to participate in a certain sport, be sure to invest time and money on it. Each sport has its own rules, concepts, and strengths. You must train yourself to a certain sport to be good at it.
