There are many things about sports that we may heard others talking that there are certain rules of to do and not to do list or maybe heard myths. Here are some of the myths that people may heard and are they really true???

• Myth about sports food
  
• Myth about Sports Psychology
  
• Myth about conditioning
  
• Others

Well some information can be trusted as it is based on proof and research while some are just plain myth. So for those sportmen or women to be, please check for the information that you need. If you are not sure, go to a professional doctor or physician for help or double check the information in the net with other websites.

Also check the labels for the ingredients of the sports food as people may buy the food that is not particularly important for the body needs.

Mineral water is the best drink as not only it does not have any extra substance(eg preservatives) but it is also a good source to quench thirst.

Know the limit of your own body as you are the only person that knows your body well and so you have to take care of it.

Paralympic

The torch

Since Olympics are for able bodied atheletes why not make a same event but for the handicapped. Thus paralympics was born. Some question come to my mind when this event was created. First, what type of sports are featured in the event. Secondly, will many people wanted to join this event as due to the physical dissability they may not want the world to see.

I was having all these bad remarks question when this event was introduce. Then it make me to surf the net and find out more about it. After reading abou it, many of my questions had been answered.

• The first question's answer was that not all the games will be the same as in the olympics but some games are improvised due to their physical dissabilities and some new games are created.
  
• The second question's answer was that this is event is for those who are the very best in each country to compete with those in other countries. To these atheletes, this is the best chance to be the best in the world and be shown worldwide trough their achievement. What is there to not be proud of because if the lose in there game or event but they still hold the title of being the best in their own country.

To me, paralympics is the best way for handicapped athelete to show what they ara capable of and show the limitless power of the human spirit or the never say die attitute towards life. They have the chance to prove that even when handicapped thay are still active.

Just want to salute these great atheletes for having to step forward into the limelight and dedicating their life to the sports that they like.

• Swimming is another form or increasing stamina. Just swim in any style be it backstroke ot butterfly and make a habit of swimming at least 30mins everyday.


• Cycling also build stamina as it is like cycling but on wheels. For staters they can ride for about 1 hour and then progressively increased the duration. This goes same for roller blading.

Improving muscle gains are also important as if the muscle are constantly resting and not doing work it will turn flabby. Here are some tips to improve that.
