What is the importance of hygiene in sports?

Answer 1

I doubt the legitimacy of the below answer, because one main one has not been mentioned. Athletes foot (Dhobie itch) is a problem for some athletes for obvious reasons, so take care regarding this. Also, if grappling is involved, you cannot account for skin. fungal or bacterial infections could be transferred (you can use disinfectant). Placemats and general equipment need to be wiped down with disinfectant.

(1)Body odour-obvious reasons

(2)Dental hygiene- helps to keep the arteries healthy

(3)Nails (finger and toe) - strengthens grip and agility

(4) hair (on head) - despite many athletes with very long hair, it can be a hassle, collecting sweat and getting in the eyes of the athlete

(5) hair (body) - body hair can cause excess chafing as well as hinder aerodynamics or hydrodynamics

(6) piercings-while it's not conventional hygiene, it's important to remove any piercings that may become dangerous in sporting activities

Answer 2

The importance of hygiene in sports is to lessen the impact of diseases or infection.

For example, if football gear isn't cleaned properly then you can get infections from it.

Another important factor to consider is that you may not be able to perform.
