5 Myths About Sport: Do not Believe It Anymore

VIVA – Sport is a positive activity that can help a person to live a healthy life. Besides it is good for the health body, exercise can also help improve mood and feel happier because with exercise, the body releases endorphins.

Many kinds of sports that can be done, such as jogging, dancing, swimming, badminton, zumba, playing ball and others. Exercise can also be done in the morning, afternoon, until the evening before bedtime. Unfortunately, there are still some myths about sports that are currently circulating in the people.

1. Sweat a lot = Burn a lot of Calories

The first myth about exercise is still believed to be that the more you sweat, the more calories you waste.

Actually, there is no relationship between the amount of sweat and weight loss that is getting faster. Sweating a lot can indeed allow a person to lose a few grams of weight, especially if at that time he was not drinking enough. However, this condition will only happen temporarily, not permanently.

2. Body Pain means the Exercise Going Successful

Pain after exercise can happen due to the rupture of muscles that are rarely moved and stiff. The muscles will adapt to repair the damage and become bigger and stronger. So, when someone exercises again, the pain may decrease or even disappear.

If pain after exercise persists for a long time or gets worse, this is not a sign of muscle building. Therefore, if you experience it, you should immediately stop the exercise or replace it with another type of exercise. Pain after exercise that occurs for a long time may be due to the wrong exercise technique.

3. Exercise is Enough

Many people think exercise is enough without having to keep eating when doing a diet, because with exercise. Turns out, this is a myth.

If you want to achieve the desired weight, diet and exercise must be done properly and in balance. In fact, experts argue that the success of achieving the ideal body weight is 30% dependent on exercise and 70% on diet.

4. Special Exercise to Minimize only One Part

Obviously, the sentence of doing sit ups can make a distended stomach shrink. In fact, this is a myth. Because, physical exercise can actually burn calories throughout the body and not in one particular body part.

5. Sport Must Be Every Day

Well, the last myth is that exercise should be done every day. This is wrong. When you exercise, your body breaks down muscle fibers, so you can rebuild stronger muscles.

However, to do this, the body needs to be given time to recover from exercising. Set aside one to two days per week for rest and recovery. Do not overdo it because it can actually cause fatigue and injury. Even so, light exercise such as stretching or walking is still acceptable.
