 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

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.

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.r
