Sports Specific Training To Get Fit Today

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.

Basketball is a male dominant sport mainly because it is a rough contact sport that requires a lot of strength and agility. Basketball requires the player to dribble the ball across the court, and to shoot it at the basket. Of course the opposing team will try by all means to prevent the player from scoring while avoiding a foul. This game can get a bit violent because players sometimes find a way around the rules just to prevent you from shooting the ball.

The volleyball game asks of the player quick bursts of energy filled movements. There would be moves that are lateral when the athletes are trying to receive the volleyball, and forward movement when they are volleying and spiking. Increased stamina is needed for this sport because although the plays may be cut into sets, the game needs the athletes to expend a lot of energy during plays.

Badminton is a sport that quickly gained popularity a few years back. It is easy to learn, but difficult to master. A lot of people have learned this sport easily because training can be quite fast. You need to train well in this sport because movements can strain and extend your muscles.

Although many people may assume that tennis and badminton are almost the same sport, they are highly mistaken by this thought. The actions and moves are completely different from each other, even down to the detail of proper footing. Tennis makes use of a larger racket and a larger court. The game has a much slower pace than badminton, but it is still intense nonetheless.

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.

Football focuses on the running endurance of the athlete. The player is made to run after the ball and kick it towards the goal. The team basses the soccer ball from player to player until they get to score at the other side of the field.

Sports specific training is very important if you want to get better at the sport you are interested in. Start exercising today and get a fit and healthy body. The more you practice, the better your body will get. Your practices should be continuous so you will progress through the skills that you learn.
