DARK SIDES OF SPORT
Sofi Zotova, 11a
We all know that sport helps to prolong our life, to keep our body and muscles in tonus, to loose weight. However, professional sportsmen sacrifice their health to achieve good results. So professional sport has some dark sides.
Firstly, every sportsman has to train a lot, that`s why their body withstands excessive loads. It often leads to the depletion of the body. What is more, professional sport makes you addictive to it. You may ask if it is possible. Yes, it is. The sportsman`s heart works in in enhanced mode so when the person gives up sport its heart cannot work anymore in a mode of a normal person. It becomes addictive to sport lifestyle. That is why even if the sportsman is retired he has to train to the end of his life.
Secondly, sport is traumatic. There are so many examples of people who became invalids and got plenty of injuries because of sport. Especially it concerns extreme sports. People called them that way, because they are dangerous for life.
Thirdly, sportsmen often have to stick to a sports diet. Some people think that sports diet is equal to healthy food but they are wrong. In some kinds of sport such karate, boxing, wrestling sportsmen have to stick to a certain weight. Some of them have to gain calories, the others to loose and they don`t often do it in a right way. It can be done by eating a lot of junk food, or by not eating at all, or by drinking protein cocktails and other chemical substances which are usually harmful.
The last but not the least is drugs. It is not a secret because people have used drugs for centuries to achieve better results in sport. Despite the fact that now every competitor is checked before the competition, there are a lot of types of new drugs that cannot even be seen during the medical test.
To cap it all I would like to say, that sport has both pros and cons and it is only up to you to decide if it`s worth it or not.
