It’s important to take breaks from the sport you play because they benefit the body which can’t maintain peak performance all the time because “at some point the body needs to at the very least need to reduce the intensity of expanded effort.”
According to Michael Niebuhr, a New Hartford High school student who plays sports, says, “They make us play basketball for six days and get one day off and that day is pretty important to us.”
The Power of Pause: Why and How to Take Breaks in Sport website says,“Physical health is the first reason an athlete would require a break. This doesn’t just mean obvious issues like sprains or breaks, but also things like small-but-lingering overuse injuries, illness, and overtraining. And much of this, unfortunately, is caused by intense sport specialization from a young age.”
There are different ways a break helps people in sports like injuries and other things like mental and emotional situations. “A break during the year can help avoid these overuse and overtraining issues that come from intensive specialization,, from Google.
I asked my mom her opinion on the matter and she said, “Breaks are important because they help you re-energize yourself and help you be the best at the sport you play.”
Some people might be wondering what can you do while you’re taking a break from the sport you were playing. When I looked for information about it on Google, it quoted “A break doesn’t have to mean your athlete sits on the couch and doesn’t do anything athletic: Trying a different sport solely for fun can help balance them out and improve overall athleticism.”
Personally, I think that breaks are able to help you reorganize yourself to get into better shape for the sport or work you’re about to do. Breaks are just as important as the sport you play because they help reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve physical health.
