Generally speaking it can be said that the older people become the less inclined the less able and inclined they are to participate in individual contact sports. An example for this type of sports would be boxing and an example for contact team sports would be football. Young people best enjoy contact and physically demanding team sports, but having reached a certain age you might no longer feel prepared and ready to practice a sport like that. This does not mean you have to stop participating in a sport or form of physical exercise. As mentioned previously when people get older they stop enjoying being involved in contact sports. This does not mean that you can’t practice a team sport. There are lots of team sports that demand a high level of fitness and still lack the element of “contact” thereby being perfectly suited for more mature players. One team game that is fast moving and requires lots of fitness and is open to men and women is basketball. Of course you must expect to occasionally collide with another player when playing the game of basketball it is essentially a non-contact sport. Still it has all the element required for a team sport. The benefits of sport for students are good condition in health.
