What are some chill sports?

[suck_on_my_presence@lemmy.world]

I have developed a lung issue and can't breathe anymore, but I love playing sports. What are some good cardio-light sports?

[slazer2au@lemmy.world]

Lawn bowls?

[togo@lemmy.world]

You could try Boccia

[redeyeflightcontrol@lemmy.world]

Bocce

Billiards/Pool/Cue Sports (personal fav)

Darts

Curling ok I was wrong about this one. Seemed pretty laid back but it sounds more intense than I had thought!

I'd hazard to suggest playing cards or board games, still has the element of challenge/sport, but doesn't require too much exertion.

Possibly E-Sports if you're into that sort of thing. Let the game console / computer do the running.

• Bowling
• Darts
• Boccia Balls
• Shuffleboard
• Golf
• Disc Golf (way better than regualr golf imho)
• Canoeing/Kayaking if you take it easy

Disc golf is so much fun

E-sports

Motorsports

Shootingsports

Bowling

Snooker

Darts

Archery

Archery is very chill, while still incentivizing you to walk a bit

[mintyfresh@lemmy.world]

Pickleball. It's still exercise, but it's never left me panting. Idk how severe your issue is. But it's way less exerting than tennis or volleyball.

There is a drone race track near me. Took me forever to figure out what it was. Why are the goals 30 feet in the air? What sport is this???

[skua@kbin.earth]

Motorsports absolutely is not a chill one. Besides the significant cost in most formats, it's actually quite physically demanding to do basically anything except the slowest go-karts. Obviously not everyone has to do full on neck strength workouts like the F1 drivers, but still

[chunes@lemmy.world]

Air hockey

[wjrii@lemmy.world]

And much cheaper, but the infrastructure is already there for normie golf if even walking the course would be a challenge. That reminds me that I need to see if my bag of 15 year old pastic still has anything usable in it and go to my local DG course.

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

Folkrace is not exactly f1, my guy.

The cars cost 1000 dollars, and if you participate you must sell them at 1000 dollars, which keeps the sport fair and relatively slow.

In the martial arts, Tai Chi is the obvious answer.

Consider Aikido. It's generally more like choreographed exercises. A lot of dojos are very understanding of physical constraints. Check with your doctor, it might be good way to gently test your limits. Plus, it's important to know how to fall safely.

Curling is great fun but I wouldn't say it's cardio-light. You'll spend a lot of time sweeping which can be intense

[nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I love disc golf but I will warn the OP that if your lung issue is too much to be walking through wooded areas for up to multiple hours, it could get tough finding a course that's right for you.

I've even player a course that essentially zig zagged up and down the face of a big hill and walking it was tough.

[fishface@lemmy.world]

Archery for sure. You can't do well if you're not relaxed!

[schrodingerspat@fedia.io]

Anyone say cornhole yet?
