**Benefits Of Sports**
Sport has already taken a strong position in our life. Each of us thinks more often about the benefits of sport and healthy lifestyle. There are three main things in this world that produce hormones of happiness -endorphins: chocolate, bananas and sport. Sport can make us happy, and happiness is what we all want. There are several advantages of doing sport. Firstly, sport develops person's physical qualities like strength, speed, agility, flexibility and endurance. Researchers concluded that effective rehabilitation and a reliable shield against many diseases can be provided by doing sport. All of this is due to the increase in brain tissues of special substances - neuropeptides constituting biochemical basis of mental activity. Secondly, sport plays an important role in the development of individuality. It gives us self-esteem, satisfaction with ourselves, peace and harmony. Sport brings cheerfulness and good humor. We get tired after sport exercises, but it is a pleasant weariness. As a result of sports, we become more active, and therefore we are able to perform more cases in less time. Team sports develop the children's math skills. They develop leadership skills and contribute to the education of team spirit in children. Sport implies competition, so winning and losing. It puts players in different life situations, such as success and failure. Sport fosters in children the spirit of competition and teaches them to participate regardless of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Team sports are very useful for the development of human social skills. Sport teaches to interact with other people during team activities. Team sports help develop collective thinking and planning skills in children. Sport helps children build confidence and satisfaction. Thus, sport plays an important role in social development of human being. Team sports require careful planning of children. They need to look for better ways to score, the best strategy for victory and careful planning to achieve this victory. Statistics show that kids involved in sports show better results at school and further education. Constructive energy consumption provided by sports is very helpful in maintaining a good mood.

It is proved that running improves blood flow in all internal organs including the brain; it is particularly valuable because it provides energy base for improving the regulation of brain and mental activity.

Physical exercises normalize our blood flow and pressure, as a result we cease to suffer from headaches, discomfort, "cold hands" or "cold feet" and, therefore, become healthier. Furthermore, we cannot eat one and a half hour before doing sport and after doing sport; it substantially reduces unpleasant fat on your body.
 * Ø Team sports are great exercise, which is very good for health. They lower blood sugar levels and excess cholesterol. Team sports reduce the risk of hypertension, as well as some of the disorders associated with stress. Studies have shown that people, who exercise regularly, manage stress better.

Fitness struggles with periodontal diseases by lowering levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. An active lifestyle and professional treatment helps to maintain oral teeth in perfect condition. Spanish doctors have put forward the hypothesis that mild exercise reduces the nausea and discomfort in the gut. This occurs because the rapid pulse and breathing stimulates the natural contraction of the muscles of the digestive tract.

=RIGGING AT SPORTS= Sport is one of the most popular subjects all over the world. There are millions of people who play and support any sport such as football, basketball, tennis, etc... Consequently, the attractivity and income of the sports are much higher than lots of subjects. This sitiation causes sports to include many immoral events named rigging. A lot of sportive teams rigs some matches to get more money or increase the popularity of their teams by making secret agreements with their oppenents, referees of the matches and sometimes even chairmen of sport establishments.For example Aziz yıldırım, chairman of fenerbahçe, is blamed for rigging in the matches for fenerbahçe to win the cup. Another example, Olympic Lyon, a French team, wins against zagreb 7 - 1 in champions league match. In this match it is clear that Zagreb players played against Lyon as if they want to lose to lyon players to raise them next tour. However chairman of UEFA ,Michel Platini, did not approve that Lyon rigged the match and Lyon went on its way in champions league.Whereas platini eliminated fenerbahçe from champions league since he thought that Aziz Yıldırım rigged the matches of Fenerbahçe. We can ask that question why did not platini eliminate Lyon from Champions Legue? Most people think that he made a privilege for the team that represents his own country. Sports are full of examples like these events. Therefore, people should know that sports includes not only competetion, entertainment, excitement but also trade, immoral money and forgery.

=THE NEWS ABOUT RIGGING=

=UEFA closely following rigging case in Turkey=

9 December 2011 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL

Venice - UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino has said the European football body is closely following developments regarding a match-fixing scandal in Turkish football.

Speaking to reporters after an executive board meeting in Venice, Infantino recalled that the indictment in the case had recently been submitted and noted that they are waiting for the judicial process to end. He said UEFA is constantly in touch with the TFF. Concerning another case of alleged rigging at a 7-1 Olympique Lyon victory over Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League game this week, UEFA President Michel Platini said he does not believe that match-fixing occurred but that UEFA will still look into referee and supervisor reports for the game.

=Match fixing in champions league=

Lyon have reacted angrily to suggestions of match rigging after the French online gaming authority opened an investigation into their questionable 7-1 win over pathetic Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.

The 1-7 result which secured Olympic Lyon unlikely qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League and sending Holland’s Ajax to Europe League. The authority, Arjel, are “currently carrying out checks” into the result in Zagreb on Wednesday. Lyon needed to make up a goal difference of seven in Group D to reach the knockout rounds, and did so at the expense of Ajax, who lost 3-0 to Real Madrid in Amsterdam after having two goals controversially disallowed for offside.

The France striker Bafetimbi Gomis was the man of the match, scoring four goals, including the fastest ever Champions League hat-trick as Lyon took second place in the group.

Lyon Zagreb Ajax Referee : Who fixed whom or what: Football is dirty

France striker Bafetimbi Gomis scored a second-half hat-trick in seven minutes – the fastest in Champions League history – against 10-man Dinamo, who had little to play for after already being condemned to bottom place in the group.

Suspicions were raised when Lisandro Lopez hit Lyon’s fifth goal and TV cameras appeared to show pathetic Dinamo Zagreb’s Domagoj Vida, the idiot, winking and giving the thumbs up to Gomis as the striker tried to collect the ball from him.

The Ajax coach Frank de Boer claimed after his side’s exit from Champions League that he felt an investigation may be appropriate.

“Uefa should investigate what happened in Zagreb, if there was something unusual in that weird match. My assistants have told me that the goals came quick and easy, because you can’t normally score these goals in half an hour. But destiny was in our own hands and we had chances to qualify because our game was very even. I will have to see video replays of our disallowed goals.”

Winking: Domagoj Vida gestures towards Bafetimbi Gomis

 * Answer For the Second Question ( Sinem ORUÇ - Sect. 03 - 1808229 ) **


 * 2) In my opinion, the most popular sports is football. Almost all people have a kind of football knowledge. Also, footballers are more popular than other sportsmen. For example, while many know Messi, there are fewer people who know Tiger Woods. Additionally, in many parts of the world there are national football teams and they are supported by the citizens passionately. Moreover, many children grow up with the dream of becoming a footballer. After football, the second popular sports is basketball, in my opinion. It is especially popular among the young. Many successful basketballers like Kobe Bryant are idols of the young. In my opinion, it is favored by companies, too. Basketball matches have some many intervals that a lot of **** advertisements can be shown during them. This is another aspect that contributes to the popularity of basketball matches. **

 **A General Answer to All Questions (Ahmet KURNAZ)**

Whenever it comes to the subject of sports, my heart beats become faster. Even though I am not a professional footballer, I like playing football and I am an amateur goalkeeper. I have been playing for my teams for more than 5-6 years. Football, when it is played within the line of respect and bilateral understanding, is a joyful activity, which makes people feel relieved and fit. You run, you jump, you kick and catch the ball. All of these are important for us to move our body parts healthily. As for the latest news related to match-fixing claims, I agree and believe that some teams are fixing the matches. In Turkey, there are two groups of football teams in Turkish First Division. One part of this is so-called "Istanbulian Teams" and the rest of them are consisted of "Anatolian Teams." Istanbulian teams, including GalataSaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas, are very strong and powerful in term of economy, social relations and worldwide fame. On the other hand, Anatolian teams are struggling to gain a worldwide fame by winning their so-called Istanbulian rivalries during the season. Match-fixing become quite possible at this point and this makes our football dirty. After hearing the allegations on match-fixing, I lost my passion towards watching league matches. But anyway, I still support GalataSaray and I hope that those who fixed the matches are put to the jail for what they have done illegally.
