Leisure: Enjoying in the heart of Europe (Germany)

For many people in Germany, it is important to achieve a balance between work and
leisure. Take advantage of your free time too to enjoy the vast choice of activities.
Sports, culture or excursions wed like to introduce you to some of the leisure
activities that are available in Germany.

Outdoor activities

For many people in Germany, free time is necessarily spent outdoors whatever the
time of year. This is why there is never any lack of things to do. Of course, people in
Germany love long, sunny summer days. Thats when nature-lovers really get their
moneys worth days on the beach in the North Sea and Baltic coastal regions,
cycling and boating in the countryside of northern and eastern Germany with its
meadows and rivers or rambles through the idyllic mountain scenery of the Alps are
what many families choose to do with their free time at that time of year. Besides
these activities, numerous lakes and open-air swimming pools, summer toboggan
runs and rope courses also attract plenty of people on hot summer days.

In the winter, most people head to regions where theres plenty of snow. Thats the
skiing and snowboard season in the south of Germany and the regions with low
mountains. However, even right outside your own front door, frozen lakes and snow-
covered slopes offer great opportunities for ice-skating and sledging enthusiasts.
Cold is no problem with a drink of hot tea, mulled wine, non-alcoholic punch or grog
(a hot drink with rum). Youll find the right equipment as well as warm, waterproof
clothing in any large sports store.

Trend sports

Beach volleyball and windsurfing are becoming ever more popular in Germany as a
result of international successes.

Beach boys. Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann finally turned beach volleyball into a
trend sport by becoming the first European team to win Olympic gold. They
defeated Brazil at the 2012 London Games. Philip Kster, who was born in Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria, also celebrates his greatest successes at the beach: hes
Germanys first world windsurfing champion. On the up: BMX. Cycling has been an
Olympic sport since 2008.

Road skating is the sport of skating (inline skating or roller skating) on roads, much
like road cycling. It shares much with inline speed skating.
Roadskaters often skate in tight packs, drafting each other and sharing the lead, which
allows a pack to travel faster than an individual skater. The individual members of a
pack use comparatively less energy than the lone skater traveling at the same speed.
Even the lead skater in the pack enjoys an advantage from the drafting skaters behind.
While gliding downhill, an inline skater in a tucked position can achieve speeds that
exceed the speed of a tucked cyclist. This is due to lower wind resistance. The rolling
resistance is similar for a cyclist and a skater it is only when actively skating (i.e., in
the skating stroke) that the skater incurs greater resistance. Skating is roughly 50%
slower than cycling on flat ground.
Skaters routinely achieve downhill speeds of 60 km/h (37 mph), similar to cyclists.
Compared to cyclists, though, skaters particularly suffer on uphills, when the drafting
advantage disappears.
A skating paceline going down hills may easily achieve speeds faster than a cycling
paceline of equal length. The reason is that the road skating paceline has a much more
efficient draft effect. The draft effect in road skating is superior for three reasons:
each skater can be much closer to the person in front of her, whereas each cyclist is
limited by the distance of the wheels;
each skater gaining inertia energy from being in the draft can translate this energy to the
person in front of her by maintaining contact (usually by placing a hand on the lower
back of the person in front); and
the skater has much less equipment-related aerodynamic drag than the cyclist.

Street skaters
Street skating is the practice of roller skating (commonly on inline skates or quad
skates) in groups on public roads. Street skates can be formal affairs, with prespecified
routes, marshals and, at times, police escorts or ad hoc gatherings of like minded
individuals.
There are organized street skates in a number of cities around the world. Some of the
largest are in Paris (the 'Pari Roller'), [1][2][3] Munich and Berlin. London[4] also has an
active street skating scene. LondonSkate[5] runs free events on Wednesday evenings;
and a smaller scene can be found in Nottingham.

Guardes in front of the group

Such events may involve several hundred participants, so to minimize disruption to
other road users the events are usually operated in coordination with the police and
other relevant local authorities, such as bus operators. Therefore, the route must be
decided in advance. Volunteer marshals help to control traffic at busy junctions. Their
goals are to minimize disruption to all road users and to ensure the safety of the
skaters.
These events are usually free to enter. Normally, the only requirement is that each
individual skater can keep pace with the rest of the group and can turn and stop safely.
Participants that don't meet these requirements are usually asked to leave the skate
and encouraged to practice their skating skills for a few days and return to the next
street skate event.

Here are the health benefits of roller skating:

Easy on the joints: Skating provides you with fluid motion that keeps you from
damaging your joints, helping you enjoy movement similar to running to or dancing
without the harsh impact. According to a study conducted at the University of
Massachusetts, skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joints
compared to running. In other words, an aerobic roller skating workout has the same
benefit as the same amount of time spent jogging, only without the joint damage.

Great as a cross training exercise: Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of

health benefits and caloric consumption, reduction of body fat, and leg strength
development. So if youre an athlete and youre looking for an activity to keep you in
shape during the offseason, pick up a pair of roller skates!

Calorie burning (fat burning): An average-sized man who weighs around 190 pounds
can expect to burn about 10 calories each minute of roller skating, while an average-
sized woman weighing 163 pounds can expect to burn about 9 calories per minute. The
calorie-burning benefits of roller skating add up quickly; you can burn between 300 and
600 calories if you skate for a full hour.

Good for mood: Have you ever seen a person roller skating and frowning at the same
time? Of course not! Between the music, lights, sunlight, social aspect, health benefits
and fun, roller skating is one of the most fun workouts!

Works the arms and legs: Skating works the legs and glutes as you power through
movement, while your arms and core get a workout as you balance your body during
the movement. According to GetRolling.com, roller skating helps build strength,
especially in the muscles of the lower body. Stronger muscles and better coordination
work together to prevent injuries and keep you active and limber as you age.

Great for improving balance, agility and coordination: Roller skating helps improve
balance with the strength of abdominal and lower-back muscles, since you must
maintain a steady core to stay upright. Coordinating balance and leg movement
improves coordination.

Strengthen the heart: The American Heart Association recognizes roller skating as an
effective aerobic exercise that helps strengthen the heart. According to research
conducted at the Universitat Konstantx, moderate roller skating increases a skaters
heart rate to levels ranging from 140 to 160 beats per minute, while skating at top
speeds can increase heart rate up to around 180 beats per minute.

Improve endurance: In addition to increasing muscle strength, roller skating can help
increase muscle endurance. Adding a few uphill climbs to each skating session trains
your muscles, along with your cardiovascular system, to use the bodys energy stores
more efficiently. This means you can skate longer distances and do other intense
workouts without becoming exhausted.

Can be done anywhere: Many people like roller skating in a rink with others, but it can
be done outside on the street, on a paved trail, anywhere with a smooth, steady
surface.

Social: Roller-skating is a social activity that can be done with friends. Being social is
an important part of health so next time your friends want to meet up for dinner or
drinks, suggest a skate around the rink instead!

Your muscle endurance and strength will improve

With a little help, your flexibility and range of motion (ROM) will increase.

Your body composition will change due to the calories burned.

Cardio and respiratory endurance will improve for you.

Your balance and coordination will improve.

Mental clarity and connectivity will get better.
