Sports activities distract children from street temptations, educate the will to win, temper the character. Guided by these iron arguments, many parents forget that intensive training can damage health, according to an online edition for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. Net - There is a significant difference between "physical education" and "sports", - says Gennady Apanasenko, doctor of medical sciences. - The meaning of physical education - health promotion and harmonious development of the body. In sports, the victory in competitions is put in the forefront: run faster, jump higher.

Different goals suggest different ways to achieve them. Sports training is conducted more often and in a more intensive mode, the load is on the verge of a possible, and not only in the physical plane, but also in a neuro-emotional.

Tense football often leads to injuries and problems of the cardiovascular system. In addition, all contact team sports are characterized by a high level of injuries. Damage to the ankle and knee joints, bruises and microtrauma of the spine, arms and legs - a common thing on the football or basketball field. No less traumatic and various types of martial arts. Broken ears, noses and jaws - that's what they often receive in addition to medals, young wrestlers and boxers. Not to mention the consequences for adult pros. Some boxing champions in addition to high awards received posttraumatic parkinsonism, a vivid example of which is the legend of world boxing Muhammad Ali.

Such a beautiful and feminine sport, like rhythmic gymnastics, conceals the danger of spinal injuries, sprains and muscles. A respectable tennis - dislocated shoulder and epicondylitis, which is called - "elbow tennis player" (inflammation of the periosteum and tendon-ligament apparatus of the humerus). Even intensified swimming is far from harmless. According to experts, they can provoke young athletes with myocardial dystrophy, ENT diseases, skin diseases. In addition, swimmers often have gynecological problems. Instead, experts recommend swimming at the amateur level, without increased loads, it is also useful to vacation such hobbies as diving.

By the way, as Gennady Leonidovich noted, none of the prospective juniors became the champion among adults. And this is due, in the doctor's opinion, to the fact that excessive loads, injuries and diseases made young athletes prematurely "get off the track".

And further. Doctors have long been saying that the current records have long exceeded the ability of the body. That's why, according to Professor Apanasenko, sports medicine is gradually turning into sports pharmacology and traumatology. Therefore, parents should clearly understand what the risks of a particular sport are related to.
