My favorite sport is basketball. I like it because I played in high school and it is still one of my favorite
sports. It is popular because it can be practiced both as a competitive sport and as a game played on a
public field. It is also a great way to train, because it involves using the whole body; is a fast-paced sport
that consists of jumping and running.
Basketball is great for heart health! Because you are in constant motion, your heart rate increases. It also
helps improve endurance, an important aspect if you want to make sure your heart is healthy. Basketball
helps reduce the risk of heart attack, but also the occurrence of other heart conditions.
Basketball requires excellent hand-eye coordination, as well as whole body coordination. When you
practice this sport, you receive the training necessary to develop these skills. Dribbling gives you training
for hand-eye coordination, while jumping gives you the training you need to coordinate your whole body.
By playing basketball, you guarantee a complete workout for the whole body. This helps to develop
muscle mass. It develops the area of your lumbar and neck muscles, deltoids, trapezius and abdomen. It
also makes your legs stronger, and the dribbling and throwing movements strengthen your arm and wrist
muscles.
Due to the specific fast action of this sport, basketball is one of the most interesting games to practice and
watch in the world. The fact that it offers many benefits is an excellent bonus. No wonder many well-
known people around the world, from presidents to actors, have included basketball in their regular
training program to keep fit physically and mentally. It is a wonderful game for both adults and children.
If you are looking for a sport that offers multiple benefits, both physical and mental, basketball is one of
the right choices.
