Most Sports and/or competitions require that you begin young. Gymnastics, dance, ect are a few. However, are there any sports that women can begin over the age of 35, and still compete? I’m open to any and all possible competitions. Something physical and competitive.

NOTE: I’m looking for sports/competitions that I could START after the age of 35, without ANY experience, and eventually reach competition level.

Tiddlywinks!

I need to cite an article that has some sort of statistics on this topic. Any statistic like: how many sports are offered to students in school, or how many Sports can be seen on television throughout the year.

I would check out the website for the National Federation of High Schools to see what they list, as well as check out the 51 state high school associations (Iowa has two) to see what they sanction. As far as what’s on TV, try searching for the Neilsen Ratings organization, as it will show you what we watch.

I’m applying to colleges right now and I have different majors in my mind, mostly business/marketing. I’m a huge fan of Sports and I’m wondering what sports news reporters major in in college?

Journalism would be good.

let’s explain better.
Im going to graduate high school, would like to do either of these sports, if these sports are available at a college can I participate in them even if I have never practiced the sport. The colleges on which im planning to attend do not specify anything and apparently they are not intramural. My high school does not offer these Sports and neither does my town.

While I do not have experience with college archery and/or fencing teams, I do have experience with archery and fencing done by college students.

If the college(s) you are looking at do(es) not offer archery and/or fencing, you should find out if there is an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc.) branch located at/affiliated with the college(s) you are interested in. The SCA, because its main focus is the study and re-creation/re-enactment of the Middle Ages, incorporates archery and fencing into its activities — and most major colleges (and many community colleges) have an on-campus SCA presence. The good part is that you do not have to join the SCA to take part in the archery/fencing, unless you want to join.

I have been involved in archery for more than 30 years, spent ten of those years with SCA archery, and have tried SCA fencing. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that fencing is easy or for "sissies", because it is neither — and SCA fencing is only slightly more strenuous than Olympic fencing (the main difference is Olympic fencing is limited to back-and-forth; In SCA fencing, you get to move around and use some foot-work).

and find out if there is a group affiliated with/located at the college of your choice. Then send an e-mail, and ask questions about archery and fencing.

Knee injuries are the most common sports injury seen in Britain today.

In running alone, 60% of all runners are injured in an average year and about one third of these sports injuries affect the knee.

Knee injuries are also the most common sports injuries sustained by school children, as they often occur during football, hockey and rugby.

Yet far too little is known by the general public about the advantages of knee support or the other simple steps that can be taken to help knee injury prevention.

The knee is the largest joint in the body, made up of bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments. A knee sports injury can involve any of these.

It can be hard to understand knee injuries and some of the complicated terms used do not make this any easier for the layperson.

You may have heard of knee ‘overuse’ for example. Well, although it is sometimes called an ‘overuse’ injury, the real name of the condition is iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). This is one of the most common knee injuries. It is actually caused by a lack of strength and flexibility rather than anything than can accurately be described as overuse. In fact, it can be brought on in runners even if they are only running around 5 miles, which can hardly be seen as overuse.

There are a number of other common knee injuries. First, there is a knee sprain which means you have stretched or torn a ligament. Then there are strains, which mean you have torn a muscle or tendon.

Tendinitis happens when a tendon gets inflamed. Damage to the menisci is a really common sports injury, especially in activities where a side to side movement or a sudden change in speed can cause them to tear.
And, of course, sometimes there can be cartilage injuries, where a small piece of bone or cartilage breaks off, causing long term knee pain.

Osgood Schlatter Disease is particularly common in teenagers aged between 10-15, especially if they are having a growth spurt. A typical symptom is pain just below the front of the kneecap on the tibia, which gets worse with activity. There is sometimes a bump below the knee joint that is painful to touch. Osgood Schlatter Disease is especially common in boys who play sports involving running, kicking, or jumping, all of which put strain on the quadriceps muscles.

The arterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most common knee ligament to be damaged in a sports injury, usually by a sudden twist or landing badly after a jump. Interestingly, women athletes are eight times more likely to suffer from damage to the arterior cruciate ligament than men.

Nobody is immune from knee injuries, with many professional footballers like Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Paul Gascoigne being well known for their knee injuries.

For many knee injuries, it is advised to rest the knee and apply compression. In these cases, a knee brace can help. In the very worst cases, surgery may be necessary.

As knee injuries are so painful and so common, prevention is always better than cure. When playing sport, it is a good idea to wear protective equipment, such as kneepads and shin guards. Knee support including knee straps and knee braces can also help prevent injury and protect your knee if you have injured it previously.

It is also vital to make sure you always warm up and cool down and that your training programme is increased gradually, so that you do not put your knee under undue strain.

It is well worth trying weightlifting to strengthen your muscles and yoga or stretching to improve flexibility, as this will cut down the risk of sports injury. And, of course, if your sport involves jumping, do make sure you bend your knees when you land.

Increasing awareness about knee injuries, knee support and Sports first aid can help you stay fit, so is a vital ingredient to becoming a successful athlete.

Javelin was among the most favorite sports equipment as it was even used as a tool to be used in wars.

Majorities of sports are invariably ball games or in other words, the games played which are played with a ball. Some of the classic examples of ball games include badminton, baseball, basketball, cricket, hockey, football, tennis, billiards and volleyball. However it is to be noted that the make up of the ball is different for different games.

Apart from the ubiquitous use of the ball, sticks are used for games such as hockey, bats are used for baseball and cricket clubs are used predominantly for golf.   Stumps and bails are chiefly used in cricket. Nets are necessary for games like tennis, netball, volleyball and badminton.

Protective equipments such as helmets, mouth guards, shin pads, thigh pads, gloves and cups are used in many games including cricket. Protective equipments are also worn for sports like motor sport, ice hockey, American football etc. Protective equipments are needed for all games where there is a risk of injury through collision of players or other objects. Footwear for sports is also needed for most varieties of sports.

If you really like the game and believe that you have the required talent to progress with that game, then you can go ahead to buy them.

Your other option for procuring inexpensive sporting equipments is to be alert and watch for equipment at discount stores.

If you are not sports professional and only take part in sports more as a leisure activity, you can go for cheaper brands of less quality. You can often find good deals at most sports goods stores both at the beginning and end of the sports season. Although it may sound euphemistic, the best way to save money on sporting goods is by buying quality equipments at higher prices. Because this means you will pay less in the long run as these equipments will last much longer. There are wide ranges of sports goods available at a comparatively low cost.
