 brazil football

In Brazil, Pelé is the famous footballer who has won the most titles and is considered a personality of world football, here he is called "king" of the football and become a legend of the sport, very popular in the world. There are people who affirm that the Pelé was elaborated and planned by the Brazilian army forces, when young was soldier military, then rearranged to integrate the elite of the sport in the country. He is also known for his support of policies to improve the social conditions of the poor, including dedicating his thousandth goal to poor Brazilian children.

Thus he received the title of Athlete of the Century of all the sports on May 15, 1981, elected by the French newspaper L'Equipe. At the end of 1999, the International Olympic Committee, after an international vote among all the associated National Olympic Committees, elected Pelé the "Athlete of the Century" and in 2016, at the hands of then-President Thomas Bach, decorated him with the Olympic Order, highest honor offered by the IOC. The International Football Association also voted for it in 2000 in a vote by renowned former athletes and former coaches as The Football Player of the 20th Century.

After retiring from the sport, he was also a singer, actor (telenovelas and movies), even in electronic games he has special appearances. However, his great contribution was so that the sport was not only the clamor of gymnasiums and exaggerated profits of money but also that had a social impact, moralization, professionalization and the use of eradication of the poor by the sport.

Brazil was the winner in World Cup Titles numbers of soccer sport, this one was champion in the editions of 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. Every four years happen an edition every four years. It is also the most popular sport in most countries in Europe, Latin America and Africa. In addition to Russia, Japan and more recently in China and the United States are fast-growing sports markets. Currently it is difficult have a new complete footballer like Pelé.

the excess of competitions, increase in the number of money won in a single season, the expansion of the market, increasing profits require much of the sportsman to the physical and psychological limit so much that on average the current footballer Cristiano ronaldo, Neymar junior and Leonel Messi, never won a world title, meaning that everything is indicating if they have to win a world title will be unique in their careers, so football players are suffering from injuries, fractures and excessive gambling. in addition, every day a new youth will emerge to shine in the sport that has become a stepping stone to international fame.

All in opposition to the primordia of the Olympic games that were born in ancient Greece, of the old age, where the athletes were deployed of force military exercises, so the Olympic games were in fact a peacetime fraternization of the main military exercises of the old world. So the skills of swimming, combat, fights, arena, duels, running, etc ... were balanced with the number of soldiers who competed among themselves in search of an Olympus, so they would become honored and decorated soldiers who paraded in search of honor and glory.

More TV viewing may increase walking disability risk

Image result for walking disability risk

As a result of various researches, it is found that the people over the age of 50 who watch Television continuously for more than 5 hours are at a bigger risk of developing a walking disability. These people had 65 % greater risk of reporting a mobility disability, in contrast with those who watched television for less than 2 hours each day. Watching Television in evening can be particularly harmful to health as it is not broken up with short period of movement, as compared with sitting throughout the day.

One of the famous author, Loretta DiPietro from the George Washington University said “Television viewing is a very potent risk factor for disability in older age.” She also said “We've engineered physical activity out of our modern life with commuting, the internet, elevators, mobile phones and a lifestyle that frequently includes 14 hours of sitting per day.”

People who are young in age may be able to get away with sitting for long time because they are stronger physiologically. In the study, the team analyzed data which kept track of men as well as women aged between 50 to 71 from 6 states and two urban areas. The people participated in the study were healthy when the study begins. The research team record that participants how much watch TV, do physical activity, exercise or gardening during the starting of the research and then followed all the participants for over 10 years.

As per the Research team, the rising levels of overall sitting and TV time in arrangement with low (3 hours each week or less) physical activity were particularly harmful, resulting in speeding up of risk. They also said that in all levels of physical activity, increasing time in viewing TV also increased the possibility of a walking disability in a dose-response way.


Some more studies have found that sitting too much is a hazard for the health of older people who meet up the moderate-to-vigorous strength physical activity rules of at least 150 minutes each week. But distinct this study, prior research did not follow people prospectively over a long time and did not believe the joint impact of both sitting time and physical activity.
