Answer 1

Ответ:

a) Tennis, gymnastics, hockey, cycling, football, swimming, running and figure - these kinds of sport we can attribute to the least traumatic of the proposed, but risks still remain. That sportsmans that prefer doing these sports often are in risk of ligament rupture or harm themselves because athlete can forget about risks to their body and do overload of the body.

Boxing and judo i find them too dangerous to health because by this way players are extremely at risk as they can hurt their head and this entails concussion, skull fracture or even they can skull fracture that can become the reason of death.

b) If you don`t do any sport at all you are still at risk often even more than doing some extreme sport. Because passive lifestyle is a reason of obesity, heart attack and weak bones and other awful problems with health. So i am absolutely sure that we have to do some sport but at the same time we must controll our strength and opportunities of our body.

Answer 2

Assessing the potential medical problems associated with various sports and comparing them to a sedentary lifestyle involves understanding the risks and benefits of each activity. While I cannot assign "50 баллов," I can provide you with an analysis to help you make a comparison.

a) Potential Medical Problems Associated with Different Sports:

1. Tennis:

   • Overuse injuries like tennis elbow and shoulder problems.
   • Sprains, strains, and ligament injuries.

2. Gymnastics:

   • High risk of musculoskeletal injuries, including fractures.
   • Overtraining syndrome and mental health concerns.

3. Cycling:

   • Knee and back injuries.
   • Road accidents and associated injuries.

4. Boxing:

   • Traumatic brain injuries (concussions).
   • Facial and hand injuries.

5. Judo:

   • Joint injuries, especially to the shoulder and knee.
   • Potential for concussions during throws.

6. Football:

   • High risk of concussions and traumatic injuries.
   • Musculoskeletal injuries, including ACL tears.

7. Swimming:

   • Shoulder injuries due to repetitive motion.
   • Chlorine exposure-related health issues.

8. Running:

   • Knee and foot injuries, like shin splints.
   • Overuse injuries from high-impact activity.

9. Hockey:

   • Concussions, facial injuries, and body checking-related injuries.
   • Dental and facial injuries.

10. Figure Skating:

    • Fractures and joint injuries, especially in jumps and spins.
    • Overuse injuries and eating disorders in some cases.

b) Potential Medical Problems of a Sedentary Lifestyle (Not Doing Any Sports):

1. Increased risk of obesity and related health problems.
2. Sedentary lifestyle can contribute to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension.
3. Musculoskeletal issues and poor posture due to prolonged sitting.
4. Mental health concerns like depression and anxiety.

Comparing the risks: a) The most dangerous sport, in terms of the potential for severe injuries, is boxing due to the high risk of traumatic brain injuries.

b) Regarding whether it's healthier to do sports or only watch them:

• Engaging in sports provides the benefits of physical activity, including improved cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and mental well-being. However, the risks should be managed to avoid injuries.
• Watching sports can be entertaining but does not provide the same physical health benefits. It can be enjoyed in moderation but should not be a substitute for regular physical activity.

In conclusion, each sport carries its unique set of risks, and the choice to participate in sports should be made considering individual preferences, health, and a thorough understanding of the potential hazards involved. While some sports are riskier than others, a sedentary lifestyle also poses health risks, so balance and moderation are key.
