What Is Sport?</h1>
[[File:Olympic rings without rims.svg|thumb|239x239px|Olympic Rings]]
Sport is an overarching term for a whole manner of activities that usually contain some level of physical exercise. They are played to keep fit and also socialise with other people. Due to the exercise component, endorphins, as well as dopamine and serotonin, are released while playing. This boosts the individual's mood, leading to improved mental health. Different sports are played all over the world, some dating back millennia.

Most sports can be split into two main categories:
=== 1) Team Sports: ===
- In these sports, players are split into teams and have to work together to achieve some form of goal (e.g. scoring a goal in football). The following are all examples of team sports

Through regular exercise, micro-tears are formed in the active muscle groups. When given time to recover, new muscle is built. This is beneficial not only in sport but in other aspects of life, such as opening a jar of pickles. The brain also releases an array of chemicals during exercise - such as dopamine. These chemicals help you perform better in the sport, but more importantly, lifts the individuals mood. This all keeps both your physical and mental health in good form, which is key to longer life expectancy and quality of life.

For team sports, there is another benefit that cannot be over looked, socialisation. Humans are social creatures and participating in team sports provides an excellent opportunity to improve the critical aspect of life. It also teaches values - such as teamwork, leadership, and Communication.

Playing a sport doesn't require massive financial input. For example, Football was originally played with an inflated animal bladder, as it was cheap and regularly available. We have evolved a lot since then, but you can still buy a ball for under $10 and have a good time with friends. Or there are even free alternatives, such as simply running around your local area. As previously mentioned, there is a ton of benefits to playing a sport and with a low bar to entry, there is no reason not to play one.

'''Gas Masks''' are pieces of equipment that filter (often toxic) air, allowing its user to breath freely in hazardous environments.

== Primitive Masks: ==
A basic mask can be made by soaking an item of clothing or other fabric in water or similar liquid. This '''does not''' guarantee filtration of many gasses but will block larger particles.

== Charcoal Gas Masks: ==

Primarily used during the early 20<sup>th</sup> century (most notably during WW1), activated charcoal gas masks work by filtering air through a metal canister (containing fine grain activated charcoal). The canister could be attached to an airtight mask, ensuring the user only inhales the filtered air.

== Modern Masks: ==

Modern masks work similarly to their ww1 counterparts but with more layers of defence, allowing them to capture most toxic gases (such as ammonia and nerve agents ). First, larger particles are captured through a dense fibre mesh. Then, activated carbon filters gases through physical bonding. Finally, remaining gases are filtered by metal oxides.

== Draw Backs: ==
[[File:Oxygen Symbol.png|thumb|71x71px]]
- Gas masks cannot create oxygen and as such do not keep the user alive in low oxygen environments

- If you are using a primitive mask, you will not be protected from the majority of gasses and vapours. Taking this into consideration before use is key to survival
