Taking part in sporting activities is a very important part of leading a fit and healthy lifestyle and can prevent many problems later on in life. Taking up a physical activity from a young age can help you build up your muscles and prevent against injuries in later life.
Building up your body to be strong when you are older does not just happen overnight and although you may laugh at your grandma going on about how she has a bad back as it is a typical thing for her to say, you could end up the same way if you do not take part in regular sport! Of course just taking part in a sport is not magically going to make you immune from getting any injuries however it will greatly improve your chance of avoiding them.
Receiving an injury from playing sport is of course very common, it mainly happens in beginners and people who are considered experts. Beginners who are just starting out at something such as dancing or running will be using muscles that they have not used before, and possibly did not even know they had. These over time will build up and become stronger to the point where you will be less likely to get injured until you become very good at what you do and you will push yourself to try out new things and could end up pulling or straining a muscle.
Another thing that can get overlooked is warm ups. At school during P.E you are always made aware to participate in warm up stretches and most of the times when you do it you think “why bother” and “is this actually doing something?” However if you went straight from static movement into trying to do an activity your body would know about it and would not feel fully prepared, you may also feel the damage later when sat watching TV!
There are so many different sporting activities in the world and you are bound to be able to find at least one that you enjoy! Schools scratch the surface of what you could push yourself to do but they do make you take part in a wide variety of sports from running on the track, tennis and badminton to dance and aerobics. Although school P.E can be hard, if being athletic is not your thing, playing hockey in the freezing cold temperatures in January after coming back from your Christmas break is not my idea of fun either! If you give it a go you will feel better than just being stood still making yourself colder, I must admit I learnt this the hard way!
