Sport auf Deutsch

Here are four topics for discussion under the general heading of sport and exercise:

• Traditional versus 'fun' sports
• Reasons for taking part in sport/physical exercise
• Factors influencing participation
• Links between physical exercise and health

A useful starting place is the Deutsche Olympische SportBund (DOSB).

Regelmäßige sportliche Aktivität beeinflusst Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden positiv. Der DOSB bietet Fitness für einen gesunden Lebensstil. >>>

And you could visit their Fun und Spiele page for a series of light hearted tests and quizzes including - Und welcher Fitnesstyp sind Sie? - Wissen, wie's läuft. Das Fitness-Quiz - Der Fitness-Test.

For more German fitness vocabulary than you will ever need there's a Fitness-Lexicon von A-Z

There are three main areas on fitness. First there is http://www.richtigfit.de/. Older people like me can benefit from http://www.richtigfitab50.de/ . Both have long lists of Sportarten. For young people and sport visit http://www.dsj.de/.
