"Sania Practicing Kickboxing"
Many times it is misunderstood by common man for sports as fitness.
I would certainly say that any one involved in any kind of sports will never get the desired results until and unless they are associated with fitness.
How??
Over a period of 10 years of mentoring in fitness have seen that people who play badminton or tennis for instance just to maintain fitness, surprisingly come with a complaint of severe knee pain or hip joint pain?? If a sporting activity is used for fitness why such complaints then ?
Well, sports is not used for fitness, its other way round, fitness is necessary for sports.
People who are associated with tennis or any ground sports should workout with weights to avoid knee injury. Infact I know people who have been playing ground sports over years and have replaced knee joint.
Any sporting activities were start and stop action is there won’t allow you for best fitness levels, you need to take consideration of max heart rate (MHR) to increase your stamina or your fitness levels.

Weight training and stretching is very important and to have good conditioning does help a lot in playing tennis says Rafeal Nadal (Worlds no 1 tennis player)
All professional players spend different time for sport specific training (exercise) to get best and avoid injuries.
At last, I also insist that diet is key, if you still eat traditional Indian breakfast and typical Indian diet after any sporting event, Iam sorry to say you will never achieve best fitness levels. Sports nutrition is must.
So guys, who are associated with sports, pull up your socks and be ready to lift weights to show your best in the field of sports.
Though it appears to be strange, but there is logic in what Parag says. Carefully going through the text, I am convinced that it is absolutely TRUE.

This is a very subtle point which he mentions...that people in sports need fitness. It is not well understood by people and it's really good that he comes up with such articles to educate others.
