Billiards for relaxation? This phrase may seem odd. But only at a first glance. We are used to thinking of billiards as entertainment and not as a sport that can be of great benefit to a person. That is why it is becoming more and more common to rent billiard tables, which are installed in many facilities to attract the public.
Doctors particularly recommend billiards to people with contraindications to heavy cardiovascular exercise, and for the elderly it is simply irreplaceable.

This contributes to strengthening muscle and vascular tone, weight loss. In addition, when playing billiards involves almost all muscle groups, spine and joints.

Billiards can be very useful in the prevention of eye diseases. The green colour of the cloth covering the billiard tables has a gentle effect on the eyes, and during the game the muscular nerves of the eyeballs are in a state of active training. The need to hit the ball accurately contributes to the development of the oculomotor system.
Billiards is also recommended for people with low blood pressure (hypotension) and hypertension. For people with hypotension, it activates the reaction and, consequently, the blood circulation, which causes an increase in blood pressure. For people with hypertension, the gradual and measured game has a calming effect, reduces blood pressure and relaxes the body.
Billiards is considered a universal remedy for people with neurological problems. If they have slow reactions, billiards helps to develop and accelerate them, because the billiards table shows a new combination of balls every time, and therefore it requires quick reactions to work out the optimal strategy of the game.
Billiards is a great training not only for the body, but also for the mind: it requires fine calculation, the ability to build logical schemes, to anticipate the actions of the opponent.
