muscles, joints, and soft tissues without proper time
to heal. They begin as a small, nagging ache pain,
and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren’t
treated early.

tennis injuries like warming up thoroughly prior to
play, wearing the right tennis shoes with skid-
resistant soles, using good technique in the
different tennis movements, cleaning of courts
before play to check for slippery spots or debris,
getting adequate rest and time for recovery after

 BASEBALL
• Baseball has many health benefits for the mind, body and
spirit. Playing baseball may be a great opportunity to create
muscle, increase concentration, and acquire your heart
pumping. Like most sports, it helps encourage players to
create better health-related life choices to enhance their
athletic performance.
• Baseball, usually considered the national sport or pastime of
us, originated within the country and quickly spread to the
Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, England, Spain, Australia,
Tunisia, and other parts of the planet.
• Baseball was popularized heavily and is widely considered to mirror the
spirit of us. Numerous articles on the history of baseball,
which weren't very clearly supported historical reports, were made up
and propagated by the media. But common consensus arrived
recently as a result of its immense popularity in us. It’s said to be North
American modification of older English games like Rounders and
Stoolball which also influenced other similar games like Cricket.
• The game turned professional after the war in 1860’s and attracted
commercial interests, yet amateur baseball was equally popular and was
separated from the professional one in 1871. Though the game was
initially played among teams of assorted ethnic groups within
the States, just like the German Americans, the African Americans, and
also the Irish Americans. The game helped in bringing harmony
among the varied ethnic groups and therefore the Native
Americans within the 80’s and 90’s.
Necessary Equipment that is used in playing Baseball

• Batting Helmet - Helmet is worn by a batter to protect

his/her head and the ear facing the pitcher from the ball.
While some helmets have ear protectors only on one
side as only the ear facing the pitcher should be
protected, helmets with ear protectors on both sides are
more common as some batters are left handed and
some right handed.
• Baseball Cap - All players wear a hat to shade their eyes from the
sun. Baseball hat design has become so popular with the general
public that they are also used to make a style statement.
• Catcher's Helmet - Catchers wear a helmet with face mask similar
to a hockey goalkeeper mask to protect both their head and face.
Sometimes they might wear a separate helmet and a facemask.
• Uniform - All players, coaches, and managers wear shirts and pants.
Each team has a uniform dress of a specific color and design.
• Sliding shorts - Players sometimes wear padded support shorts to
protect the player’s thighs when he/she slides into the bases. Some
sliding shorts contain a pocket for a cup that serves as a jockstrap.
• Baseball Cleats - These are baseball specific shoes made of rubber
or metal that players wear for better traction.
• Baseball Bat - is a round, solid wooden or hollow aluminum bat. Wooden bats
are traditionally made from ash wood, though sometimes maple and bamboo
are also used.
• Ball - The ball used in baseball is called a baseball. Layers of yarn or string is
rolled on a cork sphere and a leather coat is stitched over it to make a baseball.
• Gloves - Players wear leather gloves to protect their palms. A webbed "pocket"
between the thumb and first finger helps the fielder to catch the ball easily.
• Catcher’s Mitt- Catchers wear leather mitts with connected finger pockets that
are much wider and better padded than a normal fielder's glove.
• First Baseman's Mitt - First basemen wear leather mitts that are longer and
wider than a standard fielder's glove. They are similar to catcher’s mitt as the
four fingers are connected; additionally, it is rounded and has more padding
than a standard fielder's glove.
• Batting Gloves - Batsmen wear gloves on one or both hands for additional
grip and to avoid shock when they strike the ball.

court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. The team has three hits for
returning the ball.
• 
• In the winter of 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (United States), William G. Morgan,
a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette -now
volleyball, a name derived from the game of badminton, as a pastime to be played
indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from
other sports such as tennis and handball.

 Football/Soccer
 

• Soccer/Football (football in most of the world) is considered to be the

world's most popular sport. In soccer, there are two teams of 11 players.
Soccer is played on a large grass field with a goal at each end. The object of
the game is to get the soccer ball into the opposing team's goal. The key to
soccer is that, with the exception of the goalie, players cannot touch the ball
with their hands, they can only kick, knee, or head the ball to advance it or
score a goal.
• One of the reasons soccer is so popular is that it really only takes a ball and
a flat open area to play. Kids throughout the world will make up fields and
goals just about anywhere and start playing the game. The game is also fun
and competitive.
• Soccer is a great form of exercise as there is lots of running for good
distances. The sport is also a good test of dexterity and a great way
to learn balance.

Many people consider soccer at its highest level to be so beautiful

as to be practically an art form. The skill at which great players and
great soccer teams work the ball, strategies, and flow as one can be
an awesome thing to watch.

 Benefits in playing Football

1. Improves Aerobic Capacity

• Running at any intensity for 90 minutes requires a high level of
stamina. Therefore, football players often have a tremendous amount
of aerobic capacity being able to go from walking to sprinting and have a
fast recovery to do it again, and again, and again.

•2. Improves Cardiovascular Health

• This is probably one of the best benefits of playing Football. The

average player runs about 8 to 11 kilometers in a full game. The
constant walking, jogging, and running help keep the player’s heart rate
up, providing an excellent cardiovascular exercise.
•Lowers Body Fat and Improves Muscle Tone
• Football is a great sport for burning fat because it works the muscles
and your heart in different ways. Football builds more muscle mass and
burns more fat by recruiting both slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers.

•4. Builds Muscle Strength

• Lower body strength is required for kicking, jumping, tackling,
twisting, and turning. It also forms the foundation for explosive speed.
Upper body strength is required for shielding the ball, holding off
opponents, throw-ins, and contributes to overall power and explosiveness.
•Teaches Coordination

•Due to shifts between walking, running and sprinting, coordination

is key to football. Body coordination is improved through the
complex movements like dribbling, turning and passing, which are
performed at varying rates of speed and direction.

•6. Promotes Teamwork and Sharing

•While fitness goals are generally very personal, we can all benefit

from sharing common goals with others who push us towards them.
The lessons that players learn on the field translate to the rest of
their lives and the camaraderie teammates share in unparalleled.
•Increases Cognitive Brain Function

•Football helps increase skills in concentration, persistence, and self-

discipline because it is a fast-paced game that requires quick decisions on the field.

•8. Increase Confidence and Self-Esteem, and Helps to Reduce Anxiety

•Building physical strength and endurance help build confidence in a player

both on and off the field. Confidence and self-esteem not only impact sports
performance, but also performance in school, career, family life, and friendships.

•9. Anyone Can Play, Anywhere

•Football is not an expensive or prohibitive sport. All that is needed is space and
a ball. It is a relatively simple sport to catch onto and is played mostly outdoors,
