Extreme Sports are the latest craze in our culture and kids as young as four and five years old are fascinated with it. As a parent of a 16 year old who has been skateboarding and surfing since he was seven, I can tell you that it does make you nervous when they do the crazy tricks. Some people hate extreme sports and some people think they are a blessing, let’s take a closer look.

The positive side of kids being involved in extreme sports in that they are out getting exercise and the television in your living room is starting to collect dust, plus your electric bill is lower. You have probably been hoping for this to happen for awhile but you aren’t sure about the choice of sports. Although skateboarding is probably the first of the extreme sports, it is only the beginning. Some of the others that kids are really getting into these days include BMX biking and trickblading.

BMX bikes are like a regular bike on steroids, they are built heavy and tough to be able to take the punishment of all the jumps and tricks, plus they have special pegs for the feet and padding to protect the biker where they are most likely to come in contact with the bike. These bikes are designed mainly for tricks and racing and are mostly used on dirt tracks and courses.

Trickbladers use the same parks as skateboarders and wear specially designed roller blades with smaller thicker wheels and have an added feature called a grind plate to help them do tricks like sliding down rails. I know, it makes my skin crawl just thinking about it! The idea is to be able to do a lot of the same tricks performed by skateboarders.

Skateboarding is thought of as the original extreme sport beginning in the 1960s when surfers put wheels on short boards to give them a way to cross train when the surf wasn’t up. These early skateboarders are probably amazed at the way the sport has developed with the huge half pipes and long rails that you see skateboarders riding today. It just makes me cringe to watch as they slide down a handrail while standing on a skateboard but incredibly my son has done it for over nine years and never broken a bone.

If you are like me, the first time that you watch your child go sailing through the air on a jump or paddling out in eight foot surf you will feel like your heart is going to pound out of your chest and you will be cringing every time they fall but as long as they have the right safety gear and are always with a buddy they will be fine, injuries are far more common in traditional sports. Encourage your kids, these days it’s hard to get them to like anything.

 

Evidence shows regular physical exercise can prevent or reverse many life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. An active lifestyle is a source of many health benefits for all people, whatever their age or ability.

For children and youth

Physical activity is essential to growth and development of children and youth. Practiced regularly from childhood, physical exercise improves cardiovascular capacity, the strength, flexibility and density of bone. It also prevents obesity.

In addition to helping maintain a healthy weight, physical activity improves self-esteem, personal effectiveness, school performance and cognitive and sense of well-being. It also helps to reduce several risk factors for diseases such as coronary heart disease by creating good habits from childhood and adolescence. According to many researchers, young adults who are physically active are less likely to smoke or consume alcohol or other drogues.

For adults

Those who engage in regular physical activity and are in good physical condition perform their daily tasks more easily, feeling better and feel less tired. Their immune system is most likely to be high. Many researchers confirm that regular physical exercise helps to promote healthy blood sugar levels; reduce the risk of all types of cancer; help maintain a normal blood pressure level; protect against osteoporosis; and help prevent depression and stress. Half of people between 30 and 70 years affected by these medical conditions are attributable to a physical inactivity lifestyle, not aging or genetic.

Activities consisting in lifting a weight reduce the rate of bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Regular physical activity helps maintain strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, and reduces the risk of falls – a major concern for old people.

Aging is accompanied by an increased limitation on the ability to perform basic daily activities. However, a significant portion of the loss of independence associated with aging is due to physical inactivity. If you want know a healthy aging, you should exercise regularly.

For people with disabilities

Having a physical disability does not mean you should not exercise. According to the concept of active lifestyle, it is not accurate to compare one person with another. Each person sets their own standards and gets their own benefits socially, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Exercises required a 21-year-old athlete may not suitable for a 67-year disabled man, but they all need to exercise regularly, as long as it is possible.

An active lifestyle helps to cope more easily with the challenges of everyday life and may even prevent the recurrence of certain disabilities. In addition, it gives a renewed energy to cope with the physical and mental stress associated with a disability.

From the standpoint of health, an active life improves mobility and posture and reduces the pain that can lead to prolonged sitting. Physical exercise Improves circulation; circulation reduces the risk of blood clotting and swelling in the legs. In addition, people who use a mobility aid can move more easily if they maintain a healthy weight.

What supplements should you take during exercise?

Creatine – is a nitrogenous organic acid that helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells.

Glutamine – is the most abundant Amino Acid in skeletal muscle tissues, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. This conditionally essential amino acid is extremely important in overall health, athletics and in building and maintaining muscle.

Antioxidants – are molecules that slow or prevent the oxidation of other chemicals. Oxidation reactions can involve the production of free radicals, which can form dangerous chain reactions. Without antioxidants, your cells cannot contend with free radicals. Antioxidants help defend your body against free radical attack and many diseases.

Essential Fatty Acids – cannot be synthesized by our organism. They must be provided daily by food we eat. Failure to obtain even 1 of these essential amino acids could prevent the organism to use other elements protein that would have had to be involved, resulting in the degradation of the body’s proteins and muscle functioning.

Protein Supplements – Every cell in the human body contains protein. It is a major part of the skin, muscles, organs, and glands. Protein is also found in all body fluids, except bile and urine. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development during childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy.

Multi-vitamin and Mineral Formula – are absolutely necessary to our body even in small quantities. Besides, with the exception of vitamin D, vitamins can not be synthesized by the body and must be present in our daily food or taking in supplements! We mainly use the range of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12), vitamin C and vitamin E, without forgetting the vitamin A and vitamin D. In short, when it comes to vitamins, all are useful and indispensable to good functioning of our organism

Like many people over the Memorial Day weekend I took time out to remember our nation’s fallen heroes, but afterwards I went to a friend’s house to enjoy a barbecue.

The food was great and except for the whining of a few liberals I had a great time. At one point a friend of a friend came over to pick my brain about martial arts. He wanted to improve his health and get back into shape without injuring his back again.

He wanted to learn a good sport martial art that would give him a workout, but also teach him self defense. He looked confused when I told him that he wouldn’t be learning self defense, and the best he could hope for from most martial arts schools was a good workout.

The fact is most people don’t realize that sport combatives like boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling and fencing are just sports.

I am not taking anything away from them by any means.

All take a lot of skill, training, and heart to compete in, but at the end of the day they only simulate real life combat.

In boxing for example, there are rules governing what moves a fighter can and cannot use in a match.

Head butts, elbows, and biting are all fouls that could end a boxing match, but are perfectly acceptable in a street fight for self defense.

In Kendo, a shinai (bamboo practice sword) can pass across the neck and do no damage in a match, but in real life it could sever an artery ending the fight.

Sports are games and they are meant to be fun. And no matter how competitive they might be, nobody is ever supposed to get hurt or die.

I had to laugh some weeks back when I saw a website advertising deadly mixed martial arts (MMA) techniques that had been banned by Ultimate Fight Championships (UFC).

Of course they had been banned from the UFC because it is a sport. And as difficult as it is, as great as those athletes are, it is simply not kill or be killed combat.

So what happens when things escalate to kill or be killed combat?

Where do combative sports fit in?

And is it even worth your time to do these sports?

Listen, if you train in combat sport, just realize that it is not self defense training.

Sure combat sports have striking, grappling, and weapon usage, but they are just the beginning of real close combat training.

But what is VITALLY important for even the most die-hard self-defense or martial arts junkie is that it is ONLY combat sport that can provide the conditioning for actual combat.

The two MUST fit hand in hand with one another; otherwise both camps are kidding themselves.

A chilling example of this principle involves the first family to fall victim to the BTK (Bind, Torture and Kill) serial killer Dennis Rader.

It was January 15, 1974 when 15-year-old Charlie Otero came home and found his mother father and his younger brother and sister dead at home. The victims had been tortured before being killed and the females had been masturbated on by the killer.

In the years to come this modus operandi would become all too familiar to the police in and around Wichita Kansas.

As the police investigated the Otero family murders they found no reason for the murders, and the family was by no means an easy target. Joseph Otero, 38, had been a career Air Force man and an excellent boxer.

His wife Julie, 34, had extensive Judo training, and all the children were known to be skilled in the sport as well.

People that knew the family thought they were well trained in self defense, but they weren’t. They had no idea how to deal with a killer like Rader as they were conditioned to fight with rules, regulations, and etiquette.

Again, if interested, use combative sport training as a fun, entertaining way to get fit. But unless you plan on bringing a referee to that critical moment when you will be called upon to defend yourself and your family, I suggest tuning off the pay-per-view crap and investing in some REAL self defense training.

Ever found yourself in a situation wherein you are talking about the latest home run and people are giving you blank faces in reply? How about that annoying feeling while you are excitedly talking about the number of baskets you scored and your wife or girlfriend would just roll her eyes at you, and worse, just up and leave the table? For the ladies, how about when you are talking about your favorite team in WNBA and your husband just grunts and drones on and on about a lecture on how men basketball players are better than women basketball players? Well ladies and gentlemen; fret no longer, as the answer to this nightmare has come. At the Cappers Insight, you’ve found your new home!

This Is Not Your Ordinary Sports Forum

They will not yawn at your narratives or scold you for being too focused on a game. Instead, they will cheer you up and encourage you – whatever it is that you have to say.

Imagine that your dream in life is to play for the National Basketball Association. Now, you’ve never had any serious training, mind you, aside from those moments you spent playing with your dad in the garage when you were a little boy. You tell your wife about the idea and she scoffs at you for being a hopeless dreamer and, in the same breath, declares that you don’t have what it takes to be a professional baller. Well, at Cappers Insight Forum, you can say, “I want to play in NBA, but I need skills…” and you’ll actually find yourself talking to another Cappers Insight (CI) Forum member and having that someone tell you, “I know just how you feel.”

You’ll find yourself in the company of new brothers and sisters who would respect and treat your ideas as sacred as their own. They will give you wonderful insights, provide you with better opportunities, and introduce you to other people within your community.
