2. LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the end of interactive discussion, the BSCPE/BSEE students with 80% accuracy should be able to: Classify individual and dual sports Enumerate examples of individual and dual sports Discuss the advantage and disadvantages of individual and dual sports Give the benefits in engaging sports

3. Sports — you either love them or you were the person who hide in the locker room during P.E. class. Individual sports are sports in which one athlete competes on their own. Other sports are dual sports in which two athletes compete against each other or as a team against another team of two people. Both of these are distinct from team sports, which involve larger numbers of athletes working together against an opposing team made up of an equal number of competitors.

4. Sports have significantly been commended because of the benefits it may entail to one who wishes to engage with it. Perhaps some of the most notable benefits would be a healthy physique and a positive mindset. This being said, one could be easily persuaded to choose a sport for themselves. 

5. However , among all the many sports recognized here in our country, which one would be best to consider? Generally, sports can be classified into three: individual, dual, and team. When choosing a sport, the classification can be of great help to identify which sport would sit best with one’s self.

6. The main difference between individual and dual sports is the number of athletes who compete on the same side. However, each sport type comes with plenty of benefits and challenges. 

7. What are individual sports? Individual sports are defined as activities in which competing as a part of a team isn’t required. The athlete is on their own and is the one who’s responsible for bringing home the win. Although individual sports can be competitive, the athlete is also in competition with themselves.

8. Practicing a sport individually requires plenty of motivation in order to develop the skills that are needed to progress in the activity. Along with gaining additional skills, two other main benefits of individual sports are self-discipline and mental focus. The more you practice, the better you can get, and you’re the one who’s responsible for reaching your goal.

9. However , one primary disadvantage of individual sports is that same responsibility — if you take competitions seriously and lose, you’re responsible — and it can be hard to push yourself to keep improving at times when you’re only holding yourself accountable.

10. Examples of popular individual sports include: Skiing Snowboarding Running Swimming Bouldering Archery Gymnastics Weightlifting

11. Sometimes , as in the case of gymnastics, individual athletes compete but are members of a larger team — they’re just performing, competing or being judged on their own. But typically, just because you’re not a part of a big team when engaging in most individual sports, it doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve great things.

12. Just take it from some of the biggest stars of individual sports. Usain Bolt is the fastest runner on the planet. He expressed that being a winner doesn’t come easily, saying, “Yes, it looks easy. But it’s not. There’s a lot of work and dedication. It’s rough. I want people to understand that what they see on the track is because I work so hard to get there.”

13. What are dual sports? Compared to individual sports, there aren’t as many dual sports out there — but dual sports can take several different forms. In one form of dual sports, a single athlete competes against another single athlete; there’s no team, just two athletes against each other in a one-on-one match. Dual sports can also involve two athletes on the same team competing with two athletes of the opposite team, known as two on two.

14. Examples of some of the most popular dual sports include: Chess Table tennis Tennis Badminton Racquetball Fencing Beach volleyball

15. Dual sports come with many benefits. Not only do they encourage a lot of discipline, but they also involve utilizing analytical skills and studying what’s needed in order to beat your opponent.

16. While bringing your own skills to the court is impressive, you also have to know something about whom you’re competing against. You can then make their weakness your strength and study their techniques to overcome them during play. 

17.   However , when one player is off their game for that day, it can affect both teammates. Cooperation is extremely important in dual sports, and it’s essential to get along with your teammate before trying to compete.

18. While this classification of sport has its own advantages, one should not disregard its disadvantages as well. The social aspect is definitely not a strength of this sport. Since the athlete competes alone in individual sports, the formation of bonds as those who play dual sports is not nurtured.

19. Moreover , the lack of support from a co-athlete can be difficult in certain situations. During times of a losing streak, it is critical for the athlete to maintain their play when their confidence is gravely affected.

20.   Dual sports, on the other hand, greatly develops a strong sense of solidarity and a sense of belongingness for its players. Since this sport is played in pairs, it is necessary to rely on and work together with the other player in order to succeed. Not only does this sport promote good sportsmanship, but it also helps to bring out the best in others. This influences the athlete to be more supportive, patient, and optimistic, not just inside the court but outside as well.

21. Disadvantages also exist in this classification of sport. One of which is sowing unhealthy competition between pairs. This can create a spiteful environment and can cause feelings of inadequacy to the players. 

22. While both classifications of sports impact one’s body and mindset positively, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In choosing, always consider its pros and cons and go with the sport that would likely give one’s self an enjoyable experience.
