Sport vs Health
As the title suggests, we need to be careful about mixing up sport and health
As you are about to leave for the weekend and possibly do your weekend sports, football, rugby or running, etc… think about this:
Doing sport does not mean your health will necessary increase.
In fact, many sports are just not healthy for you - especially if you are late to the game.
Forcing your limbs, muscles, joints into extreme positions (with high levels of velocity) is not healthy. You need to progress your body from it’s current state slowly and intelligently.
A great quote: ‘you don’t need to run to get fit, you need to get fit to run.’ Very true.
Alongside your sporting activities, you may need an appropriate training plan to illicit a specific response (strength, power, endurance, etc), or maybe a series of Muscle Activation Techniques treatments, to ensure your body is aligned and working optimally. Either way, you need to be aware of the differing outcomes of sport vs health & wellness based activities
