Sport for teenagers never gets negative press, in fact, the government recommends at least 60 minutes of daily aerobic activity a day for your teen so it’s vitally important that your teenager participates in sports.
More than 45 million children across the europe take part in team sport which is very encouraging.
There are hundreds of different sports available, from swimming, walking, running, playing tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, football and more. When thinking about the best sports for your teenager, you should also take into account muscle and bone strengthening exercises.
Combining aerobics with muscle and bone strengthening goes a long way to promoting a healthy lifestyle for your teenager.
Well, physical activities come in many different forms and it’s a good idea to encourage an activity that covers aerobic exercise as well as bone and muscle strengthening. As an example, if your child plays basketball every day it will be covering all three mentioned above.
Gymnastics is another good example as it encourages muscle, bone and aerobic activity. So try and guide your teen to find an activity that covers the three.
