Introduction
SPORTS

Sports are activities that require physical actions and skills performed under
a set of rules. Sports includes all forms of competitive activity or games which,
through casual or organized participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or
improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and
in some cases, entertainment for spectators. It also includes different physical
activity or skills with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to
attain excellence, for the development of skill, or some combination of these. The
difference of purpose is what characterizes sport, combined with the notion of
individual (or team) skill or prowess.

There are 3 categories of Sports: Individual/Dual Sports, Team Sports

and Combative Sports.

INDIVIDUAL AND DUAL SPORTS

Wikipedia.sports.clipArt

Participants compete alone in individual sports, hence the category

Individual Sports. Dual Sports, on the other hand, are sports played by two
individuals competing against another pair. While there is only a handful of sports
that are really dual in category, many individual sports are classified in the dual
category too. One example is tennis. Athletes generally compete in singles play;
however, there are also doubles play categories. This is the format used among
other racquet sports such as badminton and racquetball in both minor and major
tournaments.

Individual/Dual sports provides benefits that team sports do not. Aside from
providing development in terms of motor skills, agility, hand-eye coordination and
endurance, individual/Dual sports combine physical fitness and mental
development. Unlike with team sports, a player's success or failure in individual
sports is totally dependent on his own ability. Individual sport athletes are
completely responsible for every play and cannot rely on the help of other
teammates; these builds coping skills and resilience while developing self-esteem
and confidence.
TEAM SPORTS

Wikipedia.sports.clipArt

The most popular example of a team sport is Basketball. Other examples are
baseball, football, volleyball, hockey, and softball. Relays in swimming or track and
field are team efforts. The dynamic of team sports is even more different than
individual or dual sports, because of the cooperation and specialization of roles on
teams.

Being a part of a team can be one of the most rewarding things a person can
do. The camaraderie, the character building, and of course, the teamwork, are just
some of the positive aspects of being a part of a team. In team sports, teams have
to work together to win the game; there's no single person who can carry the rest of
the team themselves. And there's nothing like watching a team come together for a
big victory.

COMBATIVE

Wikipedia.sports.clipArt

A combat sport, or fighting sport, is a competitive contact sport that usually

involves one-on-one combat. In many combat sports, a contestant wins by scoring
more points than the opponent or by disabling the opponent. Some of the most
common examples of combative sports are Arnis, Boxing and Taekwondo. Combat
sports can be a great way to improve your focus, confidence, and health.
Consider these 8 reasons for learning combative sports.

Improved Focus
Any sport requires focus, but activities like ballet or martial arts require even
more. Since balancing, concentration, and memorization of techniques comes into
play, a study of combat sports can be a great way for you or your child to improve
your focus.

Conflict Resolution Skills

In combat sports, while you are exploring combat techniques you are also
teaching yourself inner peace and respect, so training in a martial art can give you
the necessary confidence to properly negotiate a dispute.

Physical Activity
Combat sports gets you on your feet and keep your body moving. Improved
muscle tone and a weekly cardio work out are only some of the physical advantages
of combat sports.

Self-Defense Skills
When it comes to dangerous situations, having some self-defense moves up
your sleeve will help inspire confidence. Plus, for kids, knowing some self-defense
skills will help keep them feeling protected and confident.

Respect
A key part of combat sport is the respect extended to the teacher, fellow
students, and oneself. A martial arts class will help foster respect in your child, and
if you, as an adult, are looking at a class, it might be a refreshing reminder of the
importance of courtesy.

Improved Social Skills

Combat sports could improve the social skills of an individual. Our
environment can be intimidating, and rather than instilling a sense of
belongingness, most of the time our environment makes us feel like we do not
belong. Learning a combat sport gives us a sense of belongingness and teamwork,
and that positive social experience can help improve our social skills.

Perseverance
A combat sports takes a lot of hard work. In order to move up, one belt at a
time, you or your child will have to engage, again and again, in practice. Since the
system rewards hard work and dedication, perseverance gets positive
reinforcement.

Confidence
Combat sports helps instill confidence. Training in a combat sports will help
us feel a sense of power, skill, and accomplishment that you didn’t have before.
That sense of confidence will extend to other areas of your life, including work,
school, and relationships.
 Managing Stress through Sports

What is Stress?
Stress is a biological and psychological response experienced on
encountering a threat, which we feel we don’t have the resources to cope with. A
stressor is a stimulus that causes stress, e.g. Exam, Death of a loved one, Defeats,
Losses, etc. Sudden and severe stress manifests through bodily signals such as an
increase in heart rate, difficulty in breathing, loss of appetite, excessive sweating,
shaking and sometimes even disorientation and weakness. Our body judges a
situation and decides whether or not it’s stressful. Therefore, stressors and stress
levels vary from person to person.

How Sports can help you manage your Stress?

Stress can be managed in a lot of ways. By having a positive outlook in life

and by seeking the help of the people around you, overcoming stress will be a little
bit easier for you. Engaging into Sports can also be a good way to overcome stress.
Here’s how:

1. Sports can improve your mood

Getting involved in a physical activity whether
playing sports, working out at a gym, or taking a
brisk walk, physical activity triggers brain
chemicals that make you feel happier and more
relaxed. Team sports in particular provide a
chance to unwind and engage in a satisfying
challenge that improves your fitness. They also
provide social benefits by allowing you to connect
with teammates and friends in a recreational
setting.

2. Sports can improve your concentration

Regular physical activity helps keep your key
mental skills sharp as you age. This includes
critical thinking, learning, and using good
judgment. Participating in this kind of activity
three to five times a week for at least 30 minutes
can provide these mental health benefits.

Wikipedia.sports.galleryExercises
3. Sports reduce stress and depression

When you are physically active, your

mind is distracted from daily stressors.
This can help you avoid getting bogged
down by negative thoughts. Exercise
reduces the levels of stress hormones in
your body. At the same time, it
stimulates production of endorphins.
These are natural mood lifters that can
keep stress and depression at bay.
Endorphins may even leave you feeling
more relaxed and optimistic after a hard
workout.

4. Sports improve sleep habit

Sports and other forms of physical

activity improve the quality of sleep.
They do this by helping you fall asleep
faster, deepening your sleep. Sleeping
better can improve your mental outlook
the next day, as well as improve your
mood. Just be careful not to engage in
sports too late in the day. Evening
practices within a few hours of bedtime
may leave you too energized to sleep. o
