Sport

 

“I am happy to say, into amateur sport, which is the best and soundest thing in England”. This is what an inspired Scottish-born writer of detective fiction named Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in “The Return of Sherlock Homes”. No matter whether it is an amateur or professional sport, certainly, it benefits people all around the wide world regardless of their contrastive races and religions.

 

Some various types of sports are cricket, equestrian, fencing, martial arts, rugby and gymnastics and just to name a few. Despite their different names and distinctive playing techniques, these games have something in common that is the benefits it provides. One of the undoubtedly verified values of sport is we are able to ponder more clearly and subsequently improve our mood. How is this achieved? When we are playing games, our heart beats more rapidly and thus, more oxygen is sent to our brain.

 

Works and no plays, make Jack a dull boy.  For students, it is advisable to play outdoor activities such as football on a regular basis for at least three times a week and twenty minutes for each session of exercise as it will make them be more energetic and ready for lessons and study. As well as maintaining our body in the pink of life, sport that requires team spirit such as rugby will also sow the seeds of strong amity and well-built comradeship amongst the athletes. Even the spectators who clap and shout together can feel the sense of sport spirit while watching a match and this prove that sports have a social value.

 

            Other values of sports are strengthening connective tissues and ameliorate blood circulation. Hence, some physical illnesses can be precluded such as heart attack and arteriosclerosis. This is very perilous as heart attack is one of the major causes of death in this global era. Meanwhile, arteriosclerosis takes place when the walls of the arteries are thickening and hardening because of the occurrence of clogs in the blood vessel as a consequence of too much cholesterol accumulates and lack of physical exercise.

 

            Consistent training and good eating habits combined, will aid in reducing the formation of cellulite which is often formed in postnatal women and those who conform to birth control pills because the waste system cannot get rid of the enormous flow of estrogens in the body. Therefore, what are the apposite exercises in combating cellulite? If football and rugby are not you favourite cup of tea, you can practise martial arts such as aikido, kick boxing, silat and ju-jitsu instead. It is not only has the same benefits like any other sports, it is also very fascinating and enthralling.

 

            It is surely true that you cannot teach old dogs new tricks. However, for those who are still reluctant to cultivate regular exercise and play sports, it is very sensible to turn over a new leaf. To put it laconically, sports and physical workouts benefit us a lot as recounted beforehand.

Hence, some physical illnesses, such as heart attack and arteriosclerosis, can be precluded. [The following sentences are poorly constructed. Try rewriting, looking carefully at logical sequence of statement. NB n."clogs" are a form of shoe - look for another term]
