For health reasons, it is advisable to engage in physical activity for at least half an hour a day. You can take the opportunity to have fun with a sport that is out of the ordinary. Here are the top 5 unusual sports.
underwater hockey
Unusual sports combine two or more disciplines and/or use surprising equipment. Underwater hockey is no exception to this rule. Also called octopush or underwater hockey, it is played in a 300 m² pool. Since 1978, it has been recognized by the World Confederation of Aquatic Activities. Requiring a great capacity in apnea, a part lasts between 8 and 16 mn. The essential equipment is a stick, a puck, a cap, a mask, a snorkel and a mouth guard. Unlike other classic sports such as football or swimming, underwater hockey is not yet the subject of sports betting. Online gambling sites instead offer players to bet on ice hockey in addition to the other games they offer: casino gamesbets on major football championships, etc.
L’eukonkanto
Sport from Finland, the eukonkanto consists of a race between several male athletes. The difficulty is twofold. On the one hand, the runner must carry a woman on his shoulders. On the other hand, he has to cross a series of obstacles. It is now codified and the rules are established by the International Eukonkando Committee. For example, the woman must weigh at least 49 kg. Moreover, the runner generally carries the woman by the legs. Finally, it must be aged 15 and over.
Le kabbadi
Unknown to Westerners, kabbadi is a centuries-old sport of Tamil origin. For several decades, it has even been regulated by an international federation. This unusual sporting discipline is widely practiced in the South and South-East of the Asian continent. In Hindi, it means “to hold one’s breath”. Indeed, combining rugby and hand-to-hand combat, it is played in apnea. The oval ball is replaced by a player. In a kabbadi match, two teams of seven compete once morest each other.
Le chess-boxing
As its name suggests, chess-boxing combines chess, a brain activity, and English boxing, a physical sport. Its creation dates back to the 1990s with a comic book from Serbian cartoonist Enki Bilal. Since then, this unusual sport has been regulated and competitions are organized all over the world. Rounds of chess and English boxing alternate. It is possible to win by checkmate or technical knockout. So you have to be good in both disciplines and be physically fit.
Le cycle ball
A team sport that has existed since 1926, cycle ball consists of playing football on a bicycle. It requires balance, but also endurance and technical skills. The idea of creating this discipline comes de Nick Kaufman. The cyclist narrowly missed running over a dog on the road. His wheel kick only deported the animal to the side. He then decided to replace the dog with a soccer ball. Fun and impressive at the same time, cycle ball is a fun sport to practice and watch.
