Pros and Cons of Team Sports

The Positives about –

Fun – Most people love playing their chosen sport, if you love football then running around
the footy field is hardly a chore. This means you will want to exercise rather than having to
force yourself into action.

Competitive – Any competitive environment will force you to raise your game and make you
put in extra effort. This can be excellent for improving fitness, getting in shape as it naturally
adds to your motivation.

Good Calorie Burn – Team sports usually involve moving good distances when playing which
can provide a significant calorie burn and thus be very beneficial to losing body fat.

Sociable – Doing exercise around other people is great for enjoyment and raising your
game. It is also great for the social aspect. This modern day we are less sociable than ever
and most people have replaced that with eating which has disastrous effects on the body of
course.

The Negatives about –

Time – Many team sports take up time, it could be getting to the away team venue meaning
it takes 5 hours to do 90 minutes of exercise. Likewise training may take up more time than
you have available that day or evening. This can put you off exercising rather than doing a
quick session.

Injury – Most team sports have a higher injury rate than exercising alone because of the
competition and unpredictable nature of the sport involved.

Divert Focus – Often people become too centered on their playing their sport over doing the
physical preparation to make them good at the sport. Playing can only take you so far and
when niggles etc. kick in you have to use other techniques to keep you in good physical
state.
