The Role of Body Building in Sports
It is a field that demands that the participant has adequate skills about a particular game which must merge with talent to bare a fruit.
Other than the two elements, there are other supplementary elements that determine ones success in the game.
Body building being one of these supplementary elements has a take in some particular sporting arena.
As much as body building is a sport of its own nature, it has some other sports leaning on it.
This may not be an independent case, but it is true that the moment somebody merges his skills and the well built physique, the result may be such great.
The contribution of body building in these sports may be based on the stamina that comes with well built muscles.
Discussed below are some of the sports that require some level of body building.
Football, one of the most popular games in the world has its portion of success leaning on stamina.
It is well known that there is a lot of vigorous attack in the game that involves a bit of pushing.
As much as the referee will be so keen to penalize anybody who does faulty pushing, he will ignore that which is purely based on stamina.
It will therefore be to the advantage of a body builder to struggle for the coveted ball since his developed muscles works to his advantage.
Think of successful football superstars like Ronaldinho, Roony, Drogba, among others.
You will definitely accept the fact that their physique matches their outstanding performance.
Rugby is another of such games which are purely left for successful body builders.
As much as skills and talent also play a major role, a skinny person's space is rare, if any in the rugby field.
This is based on the fact that the game is one on the most vigorous games ever played by man.
For that matter, it requires a great weight to match that vigour.
This is why you will always meet rugby players in the gym, trying to look for that weight.
Wrestling is a game left for the strong, the muscular and the daring lot.
It is a sport that has almost all its participants successful in body building.
The fact that a great stamina is required for one to succeed in this game, compels most of the wrestlers to use any means to develop their muscles.
We can not make an assumption that all the body builders are successful wrestlers, skills also has a role to play.
But we must accept the fact that body building is an added advantage in this game.
Successful wrestlers like Batista, J Cena, just to mention but a few are examples of successful body builders in the game.
In basketball, there is need for a very delicate balance of the body weight.
This is a game that requires a lot of jumping and running, yet stamina is also mandatory.
One should therefore ensure that he just allow for enough weight that will see him through the struggle but that which will not deter him chances to run and score.
Finally, a humble, fast growing but very competitive art is the beauty show.
During my days in college, I used to like this show.
It could be easier for me to pick a favorite contestant among ladies, but this was never the case with men.
It remained so until when I realized that the body physique was a hidden score in the game.
I since then continue to appreciate the value of body building since it counts even where one may not expect.
These are just some selected sporting activities that call for body building as a secondary element.
Going into details may reveal so many other games demanding the participant to lean on the body physique.
It is now your responsibility to make an informed decision whether your game requires some elements of body building or not.
If it does, the earlier the better, increase those muscles and your performance will be amazing.
