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.

Volleyball requires quick and fast movements from the players. There would be lateral actions of the feet and legs when trying to receive the ball. When they are about to spike the ball, there is forward movement and jumping by the players. You should train your body to have great stamina for this type of sport.

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.

Tennis may look somewhat similar to badminton, but the techniques and steps are very far off. The footing is different, and so are the movements. Tennis is a bit slower in pace. The racket is bigger and heavier, and the court is almost four times the size of that in badminton. Training for tennis also requires a much longer time than badminton.

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 is an incredibly awesome mixed martial arts sport. It allows the athletes to kick, grapple, and punch. It is a violent sport, but the rules to maintaining safety are very strict. The goal is to knock down your opponent using your punches and kicks. Muay Thai requires a lot of skills and presence of mind.

When you partake in football, you will have to train your muscles to endure long runs. Football requires the athletes to run up and down the field to chase after the ball and to kick it towards the goal. Although there are many players per team, the field is very large and can be tiresome too. Train properly and warm up for this sport for a longer playing time.

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.
