5 Health Benefits of Water Sports
4. It improves bone density in older people and post-menopausal women
Instead of working out the worn out muscles on a treadmill or inside a gym, it is always advisable for older people to get into some water sport. Rowing, paddling and canoeing are some water sports older people and post-menopausal women can do to increase their bone density and prevent future fractures.
5. It is linked to improved mental health
Water relaxes your body completely and any sport, especially swimming can be great for your mind as well as your body. It is great for people suffering from fibromyalgia as it reduces stress and other anxieties. Water sports such as playing with a ball or just splashing about also helps develop stronger people relationships for developmentally challenged kids.
Water sports can be of great help to your health, but as with any other exercise and sports, you have to take proper precautions. You also need to know your energy and stamina levels before you set out doing hard exercises or sports in the water.
