all have to do some sports in
order to keep t? Sport is believed
to be good for your health as
exercising makes muscles stronger,
and your heart works better if you
spend at least 30 minutes every day
running or playing football.
But things become more
complicated if you talk to
professional athletes. ey know
that every time they train or take
part in championships they risk

being injured. Getting hurt is part
of nearly every sport: scratched
knees and elbows, twisted ankles,
even broken bones create the long
list of the di erent ways in which
sports professionals may su er.
Fortunately nowadays, coaches
focus more on safety because
injuries in professional sport are
a real waste of money. e injured
player must get proper treatment
and cannot take part in events that
are important for the team.

or not train? As with most things in

sensible. If you want to be healthy,
you can train regularly and take
part in some sporting events, but let
your body rest. Do not spend every
free moment exercising because
taking a break and relaxing is as
important as training hard.
