RAB Proposal Paragraph – Geraldo

My research question is “How can training combat sports affect ones short and long term health?” This topic interests me because it is something that I have seen people suffer from first hand. I have been training for a year now and I have witnessed numerous amounts of small injuries as well as bigger, more severe injuries. I am wondering how these injuries that these people are picking up now will affect them down the line. With the age range of everybody at the gym being 16-45, some are more prone to injuries than others. I am also wondering whether ego and over confidence can lead to more injuries. Beginners jumping into a sparring session with an amateur fighter will more likely than not have them injured if the more experienced fighter is not careful. You can look at the face of all-time boxing, Muhammed Ali. He faced life changing illnesses and diseases in his late 30’s all the way until he died at 74 years old.
