The health of athletes

Many people think althletes are full of power, health, competition and passion.  Is what you see really true?

Let us go back to 19 years ago.Hank Gathers,a basketball player died while he was playing game according to a passage Hank Gathers . This article describes the death of Hank Gathers in detail. "On Sunday, March 4 ,1990 he collapsed again with 13:34 left in the first half of a West coast conference tournament semifinal game against Portlan, just after scoring on an alley- oop dunk that put the Lions up 25-13. This time he never got up. He was declared dead on arrival at a nearby hospital at the age of only 23. An autopsy found that he suffered from a heart muscle disorder, hypertrophic cardipmyopathy."

He was 23 years old and seemed to be in good health. In China, Guo Jingjing , a famous diving athlete, is burdened with eye disease. Her eyes have been damaged because she stays in the water for a long time. If she does not take part in the operation, it will be dangerous. Now I remember Li Xiang withdraw from the match in the Olympic Games because of disease.

All of these examples show that athletes have many health problems. Many health organizations have done some research about the health problems of athletes. The researchers find that the sudden death is not coincident. The athletes suffer much pressure when they are playing. If their hearts suffer it, it is easy to lead to the disease. While sudden death does not happen usually. Many athletes must suffer from diseases, such as arthritis and rheumatism, even if they take measures to protect themselves. What’s more, mental problems are becoming popular to athletes. To be honest, as an athlete, psychological situation is important because they have to face much pressure beyond our imagination.

Sports fans hope the players who they like can have a good health and do a good job. We should  give the athletes more support. Health problems should be focused by all of us.On the website called Stack Nutrtion, it introduces every aspects of keeping health from athleres' food to their nutrition.With the development of technology, more measures should be taken to keep the athletes healthy. In the coming future, athletes may be as strong and health as we consider.
