Benefits of Sports

Should students be involved in sports during their busy academic life? I  believe  so,  there are three  major benefits that i believe are the most important reason to start a sport: They are   Health, helps build good values, and are just all in all fun. I encourage students to take up sports. Even  though I’m a student myself and i know how busy we get from homework and test, but sports can help relieve stress and make school more fun.A report from the United Nations Inter-Agency Task force on sports for Development and Peace stated that young people can benefit from physical activity as it contributes to developing healthy bones,  efficient  heart and lung function as well as improved motor skills and cognitive function. Physical activity can help to prevent hip fractures among women and reduce the effects of  osteoporosis. Remaining physically active can enhance  functional  capacity among older people, and can help to maintain quality of life and   Independence. Sport teaches many good values that one can use in sports and their daily  life.Honesty,  disciplined  respect, and many others are just some of the values that sports teach us. A student can use these  values  in their daily  routine. Sports can help a student learn about arriving on time, setting  priorities, and to  encourage  team work. The key to creating and sustaining values based on sporting is Living Values: living values in  everything  you do, every time,  every day. Sports can be really fun and exciting. I  practice  Taekwondo and its exiting being put up  against  a bigger, faster, and stronger  opponent. It’s a very rewarding experience to see how much hard work pays of in combat and it can be applied in school.You may not see the results running and  practicing  everyday but once you get in to battle it shows, and it’s the same for school you may not see the results of  content  studying until you t ake an exam. It’s very exciting and I recommend all students to try sports it is very fun. In conclusion I believe students should start a sport since it offers many benefits Like: health benefits, good values, and it’s fun. I encourage my fellow students to join a sport It really makes the learning experience more enjoyable, and I believe it prepares us for success.
