@Cas6760 @KIN110UofR I find that the air quality affects how I feel during and after outdoor physical activity. For example, I find it harder to run outdoors when the air quality is poor because I find it harder to breathe. Afterwards my lungs tend to feel overworked.

Lots of funding for sports and athletes come from the government. Do you think the amount of funding country's governments put into sports determine how well athletes perform? @KIN110UofR

Sport shared through media has the ability to influence how an individual feels and views a sport. Which do you think has a greater influence on common sport stereotypes: the media, or in person occurrences such as watching live sports and face-to-face socialization? @KIN110UofR

In sport, mental health is often ignored more than physical health due to physical health being a better understood concept. This is an article that speaks more on mental health and the importance it has in sport. https://t.co/0c4TcrSNX0

Alcohol consumption can play a large roll in hooliganism: violence between fans at sporting events. Do you think banning alcohol at sport events would decrease violence in the stands? @KIN110UofR

@Cas6760 @KIN110UofR I have had several coaches use poor language in games and practices that consisted of them insulting their athletes. I believe that the competitive aspect of sport unfortunately tends to make these actions easier to ignore than if a teacher were to insult a student.

@casinhawkins @KIN110UofR Body image definitely plays a large role in young athletes mental health. I used to be a gymnast when I was younger and I tended to have a bigger, more muscular build than the other gymnasts. This lead to me comparing myself to others and feeling like I was not good enough.

This is an article about Bobby Baun. He played in the 1964 Stanley Cup with a broken leg and scored the winning goal. This is an example of positive deviance. @KIN110UofR #Devianceinsport #Positivedeviance

@KIN110UofR Youth sport should be all about having fun, learning new skills during the critical period, and making friendships. However, I find that many parents, coaches, etc. put a lot of pressure on children to win and be the best which can create stress and negativity amongst children.

@KIN110UofR In my opinion, a sport is an activity requiring rules and skill. There is competitive sport, which is more so for the purpose of competing against others. There is also recreational sport which has less organization and is usually targeted for participation and having fun.
