The benefits of playing football

Football is mainly a common sport. It can be used for physical exercise in daily life. It is a very ancient sport with a long history. It is mainly in China that we can practice football in our daily life. We must have a good kicking method to develop a good capital role. Footwork is very good for the human body. It can exercise the body and strengthen the muscles and bones. Therefore, we can do some football exercises in our daily life.

Football exercise has many benefits. In addition to the benefits to the respiratory system and other leg exercises, playing football can also enhance physical health and the recovery of body functions, so you should exercise this sport regularly and don't give up halfway.

1: Improve the function of the respiratory system more effectively. Football is a combination of running and leg exercises. During the process of running, passing, shooting, etc., the depth of breathing will be increased, thereby inhaling more oxygen and expelling more carbon dioxide, thereby increasing lung capacity and enhancing lung function. This is due to the strengthened contraction of the main respiratory muscles (diaphragm, internal and external intercostal muscles, levator costae muscles, upper and lower serratus posterior muscles, etc.) and the auxiliary respiratory muscles (scalene muscles, sternocleidomastoid muscles, pectoralis minor, pectoralis major, etc.), which promote the development of these muscles themselves, resulting in expansion of the chest cage, increase in chest cavity volume, good development of alveoli, enhanced breathing power, and increased vital capacity, lung ventilation and oxygen intake. Studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have stronger physical adaptability, so their breathing appears steady, deep, even, and slower. When at rest, their breathing rate is 7-11 times/minute, while that of people who do not exercise is 12-18 times/minute. Women breathe 2-3 times/minute faster than men.

2. Strengthen leg bones: Football is the best sport for leg training. In the process of continuous leg exercise, due to the promotion of metabolism, the blood supply to the bones is improved, and the morphological structure and function of the bones have undergone favorable changes: the bone density thickens, making the bones thicker, the arrangement of trabeculae becomes more neat and regular according to the pressure and tension, and the protrusions of muscle attachment on the bone surface become more obvious. These changes make the bones thicker and stronger, thereby improving their ability to resist fracture, bending, compression, and torsion. Persistent physical exercise can also enhance the strength around the joints, thicken the joint capsules and ligaments, thereby increasing the stability of the joints; at the same time, physical exercise increases the elasticity of the joint capsules, ligaments and muscles around the joints, thereby improving the flexibility of the joints.

Playing football in daily life can improve the respiratory system. The depth of breathing can absorb more oxygen and the lung capacity can be increased. The enhanced lung function can strengthen the leg muscles and has very good effects. Many people play football, which has very good effects. The main thing is that football can improve the flexibility of joints and also have some other benefits such as delaying aging.
