Myths And Superstitions Of Physical Activity

Myths and superstitions of physical activity

"Rays never fall twice in the same place" Lie! In fact, it has been proven that high buildings beaten by the rayería many times. There is also the myth that tomato is a healthy and nutritious vegetable;When in reality tomato is a fruit. When we talk about sport there are many myths that although they are worldwide known, they are still wrong. If we take into account all the myths that exist in relation to sport, the truth is that it is these myths that are killing people’s interest in playing. In this article I will be talking about the three myths that I have heard most about sports.

Starting with "Sports Science is working". Something about what we have years listening in the field of sport, is the concept of "Sports Science". The myth began in the 1960s and took force with the investigations and practices that were carried out in the 80s and 90s. If we compare them with the present, two things are true:

1.  Things are done faster.
2.  Things are done more accurately.

If we take the time to really read the investigation, the first thing we can notice is that in the last 30 years of studies, nothing has changed. Scientists continue to investigate the break points in aerobic-anaerobic metabolism, the effect of sports performance supplements and adequate depth to perform back squats. Personally, my favorite myth was always that of "parents are the enemy".

Since the beginning of the years, parents have been considered the ‘enemy’ in the sports industry. Wayne Goldsmith, a professional coach who has worked directly with Olympic champions, professional athletes, professional teams and winning coaches worldwide has said many times:

"One of the jokes in the trainers community for some time has been that the idea that a" Nirvana "coaches would be to have exclusive training rights for a world -class sports installation built right next to the world’s largest orphanage."

The truth is that helping children learn to love sport is an association: coaches, athletes and parents who work together as a team. The truth is that sport cannot exist without parents who support their children … So why not commit to them and hug them as key partners in sports experience? Parents are the key to growing sport in the future.

Finally, we have all heard that "the facilities are the key to success". Most sports, coaches and sports organizations, believe in the old saying ‘if you build it, will come’. That is, people in the sports industry believe that if they have more and better facilities, they will attract and retain more participants.

Why? The human being is ‘connected’ to invest in things that we can see, feel, build and buy. It is easy to build a new installation. It is much harder to build a workforce with the qualities, skills and attributes to offer outstanding sports experiences to children and families. But apart from all this, many have heard that "sweating on weight", that in "the mornings are burned more calories than in the afternoon", that "doing sports increases appetite" and that "sport distracts sport from studies". And to be honest, they are false.

When we sweat, we lose liquids, not fat. It doesn’t matter what time we do sports, the same amount of calories burn. To perform sports regularly, actually decreases appetite since the amount of amiline in the blood is increased. Continuous sport favors the creation of neurons in the hippocampus, which is related to memory and learning.

What do I want to get with this? The internet is full of false information, don’t create everything you read or tell you. Investigate. Talk to your doctor if you have doubts, or with a professional.
