According to statistics, almost half of all those who decided to go in for sports, after 2 - 4 months, leave classes because of injuries, nervous shocks, colds and other diseases. Agree, the percentage is too serious to be considered a trifle. Cause? The man "did not sit down in his sledge". Where is the way out? It can be found in the teachings of the Ancient East, which will prompt you what kind of sport suits you. It has long been noted that people with different temperaments some kinds of sports are given easily, while others do not submit.
Earth (Melancholic)
January 1 - January 19, April 20-May 19, August 20-September 19, December 20-December 31. People of the Earth sign are emotional and sensitive. But they are not able to withstand prolonged physical and mental stress. They more slowly restore the wasted energy potential. The best option for melancholists is to practice those kinds of sports where high individual skill is required. For men born under the sign Earth the following sports are most suitable. This is tourism and water slalom, horse riding, especially dressage and jumping, shooting from a small rifle or pistol, fencing, boxing (light and medium weight), martial arts, including karate, aikido, Thai boxing. According to experts, "earthlings" will be able to show themselves on tennis courts, on platforms in some weight categories of weightlifters, in bodybuilding sections, in some classes of yachts and especially at a tennis table. In this field, you can achieve great, and maybe even triumphant successes.
From the recommendations of the trainers, we can conclude that the occupation of physical culture and sports in the winter cold times is not encouraged for representatives of the earth's elements. The fact is that melancholic people must constantly feed themselves with energy from the natural environment. Skis, sleighs, bobsled, skates, hockey sticks with a puck or ball and other attributes of winter sports are by no means excluded! But, frankly speaking, classes in these sports will not give the desired high results in competitions.
I would like to note one more kind of aesthetic-physical combat sports - ballroom dances, where people of the "earthly" type are able to feel like a partner's feelings in unison with music. They experience a huge burst of energy, creative enthusiasm, emotions in the process of synthesizing the motor effort in time with the listening of melodies. Less suited to them are sports games, including checkers and chess, a variety of wrestling. And absolutely they should not be engaged in acrobatics and gymnastics, parachute and air sports, mountaineering, technical sports. Athletes of the elements of the Earth need increased attention. It is required to regularly celebrate their successes and, as often as possible, cheer them up, praise them, and aim them at victory.
Air (Sanguine)
January 20 - February 19, May 20 - June 19, September 20 - October 19. For this sign in sports everything is much easier for both men and women. Their hobbies are team sports. They feel good on football fields, basketball and volleyball courts. They are suitable handball, rugby, water polo. Speaking individually, they also achieve significant success. Their hobby is tennis (including table tennis), fighting styles (usually except heavy weight classes), swimming and jumping in water and others. Here it is necessary to remember that people of this sign easily get used to physical loads and have strong will. They are able to for a long time to feel loads on almost all muscles. These people are easy on the rise and therefore can actively engage in mass sports. For example - running, swimming, aerobics and other sports.
As is typical of all the representatives of the air element, their main trouble is inattention and laziness. They did not want to do something, they did not finish something, they were already tired of doing something. And as a result - various injuries. Sanguine from early childhood must be reminded of the dangers that await them in emergency situations. In addition, they must simply be forced to carry out the assigned tasks. Because all kinds of ways of asking, persuading will not give any positive results. The child will resist, but soon realizes all the correctness of your approach and will follow the trainer's instructions quickly and better than the other guys. Only clearly formulated and specific requirements are well assimilated by the people of Air, combined with strict observance of discipline.
Water (Phlegmatic)
February 20 - March 19, June 20 - July 19, October 20 - November 19. People of the sign of Water are not famous for their temperament, activity. But they always perform all actions in a thorough and correct manner. They can be found among athletes, but more often - among athletes. They have a more powerful physique, are strong and precise in actions. Their main trouble is a slow reaction. This leads to slowness in the performance of sports techniques, reducing their clarity, synchrony, external entertainment. Thus, there are two mutually exclusive factors here. On the one hand, the phlegmatic tries to fulfill the task set by the coach more correctly, taking into account in a complex physical and psychological-intellectual capabilities of his body. On the other hand, his actions do not always keep up with the single process of reception. That negates all the work done by the athlete. For these reasons, experts caution the phlegmatic from the exercises, where an instant reaction is required. For example, in table tennis, boxing, badminton, volleyball and some other types of martial arts you need to quickly move around the court, tatami, ring. And this can lead to general physical overload and rapid fatigue of a person.
Recommended sports for phlegmatic players: disc and spear throwing, shot put, wrestling (especially Greco-Roman), as well as chess. They rarely and less successfully run, jump, although they swim more successfully. Apparently, the water element attracts its sign. However, sluggishness, complexion and depth in the analysis of their actions sometimes do not allow to obtain the desired victory on the "blue" tracks. The situation is somewhat better in synchronized swimming, diving, water polo.
It should be noted that phlegmatic people are sensitive people, deeply understanding all that has gone through. For this reason, one of the reliable ways to stabilize their psychological and physiological structure of the body can be good words and wishes. If sanguine is not necessary, so to speak, "sweet speeches", then people of Water will not be prevented by good parting words, stressing their mind, will, strength of body and spirit. Do not forget to congratulate them for great and small victories. Do not be scandalized for failures and mistakes. Always notice their kindness and compassion.
Fire (Choleric)
March 20 - April 19, July 20 - August 19, November 20 - December 19. People of this sign have a somewhat erratic and unstable character. However, possessing a strong will, developed muscular system, choleric persons are able to show good results in almost all sports. For them, both game types and martial arts are good. Possessing strength, as well as a good "sporting anger", they often stand out in the team, become forwards and captains. Almost all the types of force struggle attract them. Not very visible people Fire in badminton, table tennis, in the shooting of a rifle and a pistol. In figure skating, they are made more often in solo skating.
It is desirable to pacify the unbridled ardor of the passions of "fiery" people through strict instructions, decrees, orders, constructive business conversation. People of Fire (choleric) are very confident in the water and in the skies. They can be seen in a diving suit and climbing equipment. They perform well on the ski track. However, choleric people are less fortunate on the cycle track and highway, where strict and exact calculation is required, the ability to consistently, slowly increase the pace of the victorious finale. They are attracted to ballroom dances. But preference is given to power rock'n'roll, jive, lambada, rather than waltz.
Activity choleric is perfectly embodied in the results of wrestling. Especially if in a conversation with him repeatedly emphasize his strength, the will to win, his natural destiny as a born champion and conqueror of loving hearts. Yes, it should be stimulated every hour by word, food, affectionate stroking and patting - this is the essence of success!
When choosing what kind of sports you are suitable for, consider these recommendations.
