 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. A sport 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 characterises 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/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; this build coping skills and resilience while developing self-esteem and
confidence.
TEAM SPORTS

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 positives to 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

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 a combat sport.

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 sport 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 sport could improve the social skills of an individual. Our environment
can be intimidating, and rather than instilling a sense of belonging, most of the
time our environment makes us feel like we are not belong. Learning a combat
sport, gives us a sense of belonging and teamwork, and that positive social
experience can help improve our social skills.

Perseverance
A combat sport 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 sport helps instill confidence. Training in a combat sport 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.
