The definition Extreme sports are activities that are associated with an adrenaline rush that is felt by the participant. These activities are often dangerous and any mistake could result in injury or even death. Extreme sports are usually done by individuals rather than teams. During the 1970's and 1980's, the term "extreme sports" was almost exclusively used for sports that had high risks involved and often resulted in death. Today, however, extreme sports also include activities that give a feeling of an adrenaline rush not necessarily putting the participant's life in harms way. Advantages of extreme sports Different extreme sports require different skills, as well as placing varying demands on your body. Activities such as skateboarding and mountain biking are going to shape up your legs, as well as your heart and lungs, unlike, say, parachuting, which will mostly test your sphincter-control. In every case, however, you'll benefit from the adrenalin buzz your body's natural high. Regular extreme sports thrills can result in improved well being, less stress and more confidence.
Disadvantages of extreme sports Fans of these sports risk sustaining damage to their bodies, like broken limbs or permanent damage to internal organs. Also the lack of suitable equipment leads to increase of the risk. Besides that, in extreme sports common sense can be lost. This kind of activities involves a lot of extreme emotions and risk. People often forget about common sense in case of their personal ambitions, need for adrenaline rush and admiration of the other. They can very easy switch off common sense and balance on the edge of death. Three craziest extreme sports 1.
