Adolescent Training


Adolescence is a  privileged period for muscular and osseous growth. It will be necessary to diversify the activities because it's the ideal period to build the body.

 

 

 

Practice of physical or sporting activities must be preceded by a medical examination and an orthopedic examination. We suffer rather from problems involved to sedentary lifestyle that of over training during adolescence, it's necessary to move and diversify activities.

 Fitness - Health


Feel free to read the explanations below in order to better understand how your body works. You can also surf our articles by clicking each term or keyword underlined. You should be able to find what you are looking for ...

All those who take care of their health increase considerably their chances to be in good health and to delay ageing process. Today it is proven that regular practice of physical activity associated with balanced nutrition play an important therapeutic part in case of some pathologies like backache.

These two topics refer to the concepts of  physiology and anatomy.                            

Let us specify the concepts of fitness and health. Health is the opposite of illness (traditional concept of health), not to forget the transition between health and illness. Health represents a psychic and complex physics quality, which is integral for everybody.

Physical fitness is the ability to carry out daily tasks while preserving enough energy to benefit from leisure

and to face up to situations of emergencies. The Concept of physical fitness is different from health. For example, an athlete will enjoy an excellent physical shape even if he is temporarily suffering whereas a sedentary person, even if very healthy, would be unable to carry out a sporting performance.

 

Elements of shape depend on seven principle factors which are the body (morphology, proportions, weight), flexibility (extent of movements of articulations, degrees of mobility), muscular power, muscular endurance (resistance), cardiovascular and respiratory capacities, the locomotion possibilities (coordination, balance, agility, reflexes). Defining in a few words this concept of physical fitness and health and of  total fitness is complex.

Many reasons can explain why sometimes we are not in a good shape.

Inactivity involves atrophy of muscles tissues and a decline of physical capacities. Stress exhausting our energy

Excesses of food transforming our overeating into fat. Hyperactivity decreasing our physical and mental capacities. And harmful practices such as cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, unsuitable diet.

 

Consequences of a bad form are well-known. A short breath or palpitations, back pains (lack of exercises strengthening muscles of the back), insomnia (mental activity not compensated by a physical exercise)excess weight (excess of fat), bad looking complexion (paleness). In this last case, we can always work to correct ones look with beauty care.

To practice of a physical activity during free time, increases chances to be in good health, to be active, to have social contacts. The goal is not to do a good performance or to reach a high level

It's better to practice activities for maintenance or improvement of general physical condition in order to and so you delay, for example, effects of ageing process.
