what can we benefit from doing sports
Playing sports is one of the favourite activities of most of us. Apart from being a fun activity, sports offer several health benefits.
Sports serve as an excellent physical exercise. Those who play sports have a more healthy body than those who do not. Taking part in team and individual sports is a great way to get in shape and help prevent serious illnesses. According to a report from the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Sport for Development and Peace, sports provide an opportunity for young people to develop their bones; heart and lung function, and improve motor skills and coordination.
Sports do not just affect your physical health, but have a positive effect on your mental health as well. Sports can increase self-confidence and self-awareness, Reduce depression and anxiety. A 2006 study showed higher levels of sport participation and physical activity were linked to lower levels of depression, and that exercise can encourage better self-perception. When our mood was bad, we can do some sports, like running, playing basketball, that can make we feel better.
Let us remember that “For one hour daily exercise, healthy living life.”
