Top 5 Most Injurious Sports
We have compiled a ranking of sports in which you need to be extra careful.

Every sport has its risks, but some sports break records in the number and frequency of injuries. This does not make them any worse than others, but they do require you to be more responsible.

Thus, we present to you the 5 sports which require extreme caution.

1. Cycling .
Not many people expect to see this sport at the top of the list, but cycling is recognized as more dangerous than soccer, especially when it comes to head injuries. In 2000 alone, about $8 billion was spent in the U.S. to treat injuries from bicycling accidents.

You might think that when we talk about injuries we are referring to extreme cycling, but the main cause of injury is "other vehicle," i.e., collisions on the street. Of course, bicycle racing is no less dangerous than riding in the city, because cyclists ride very close to each other, and if one of them falls, then all of them fall, which is fraught with many injuries at once for many athletes.

Injuries to cyclists range from minor (abrasions after a fall) to very serious (severe head injuries, fractures). Some athletes-mostly professionals and avid amateurs-suffer from chronic injuries: tendonitis, muscle and joint pain, lumbar spine problems, and neck pain.

How can you prevent skating injuries? Here are a few tips:
Choose a bicycle to suit you. Usually the models indicate the height and weight they are designed for. If you do not know, ask for advice. Do not buy a model that does not fit you! Ride such a bike will be difficult, you have reduced maneuverability, which can discomfort and falls.
Buy special clothes. Do not do cycling in a plain cotton T-shirt - cotton prevents the evaporation of sweat, which is released in huge quantities when cycling, especially in the summer. Cycling jerseys are made from micro polyester, a lightweight synthetic material that wicks moisture away from the body very well, accelerating its evaporation. Cotton, on the other hand, will quickly become soggy and heavy, putting extra strain on you and not allowing your body to breathe. Why go through the hassle? Shorts, too, are made of micro-polyester and have a special design that will save you from the discomfort in the groin area, which is difficult to avoid if you ride for several hours sitting on a narrow seat.
Wear a helmet. This is a must-have protection for the cyclist, no matter where you ride. It doesn't guarantee 100% safety, but it minimizes the risk of serious head injuries that cyclists without a helmet suffer most often.
Don't listen to music on your headphones when you ride your bicycle! If you can't bear to part with your player, listen with one ear and not too loudly. It is much more important to hear another cyclist, pedestrian or car approaching on the road.
Be sure to use lights and reflectors - so you can ride safely at night;
Buy a bicycle with shock absorption to protect you fro

Why it is so important to learn how to swim
Many animals can swim from birth, but we humans need to learn how to swim. We are not the only ones - monkeys, for example, also have to learn how to move in water. Some people do not know how to swim throughout their lives, which most often leads to a fear of water. Many of them, however, claim to live just fine without the skill. Why, then, learn to swim?

Learning to swim is important for several reasons, and it is best done at a young age. This article will tell you why.

Safety
The first and most important reason why learning to swim is important is that it will allow you to survive when you find yourself in the water. We find ourselves near or on the water many times in our lives: on cruises, crossings, boating, fishing, or in the pool. If something happens and you find yourself in deeper water than your height, the ability to swim will save your life.

The ability to swim is important for both adults and children. Babies love to play in the water and it can be hard to keep track of them. If your child can swim, you will have much less to worry about.

What's more, children often seek adventure in the water without parental supervision. This year, the number of children drowning is already up 14 percent from 2019. Teach your child to swim and there will be fewer risks.

Saving others
According to statistics from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, on average, about 3 thousand people per year die in the water in Russia. Knowing how to swim, you not only save your life, but you can also help a drowning person. Know how to swim is especially important if you rest on the water with your child or have to look after children on duty.

Health
Swimming is one of the best sports for good health, any doctor will tell you that. Swimming puts a lot of muscles into action. Arms, legs, back, shoulders and chest muscles become stronger - and this is not only a guarantee of a beautiful figure, but also the correct posture.

Swimming develops the lungs and trains endurance, contributing greatly to cardiovascular health and speeding up your metabolism.

Once you learn to swim and have a good technique, swimming becomes a very meditative activity - just like running and other forms of exercise. By learning to breathe properly and control your movements and reactions in the water, every child or adult also builds mental strength and learns to cope with stress.

Enjoyment
The pleasure of being in the water is also a very important benefit of those who swim well. When instead of being deathly afraid of water, you know how to relax and enjoy swimming in the sea or pool, you can only be envied. Swimming is the best activity to relax and keep your body in shape.

Moreover you can easily diversify your holiday with your friends or family if you know how to swim: for example surfing, wakeboarding, capsurfing or kayaking. Of course it is necessary that your companions can also swim!
