Importance of Game and Sports In Life

Sports and games have been part of human society for thousands of years. The importance of these things should not be underestimated. Much of young children's learning comes from participating in sports and games, and this same participation as adults can lead to happier, healthier and more productive lives. Sport is very important in our life. It is popular among people of all ages because it helps them to keep fit. There are a lot of enthusiasts in our country who jog in the morning or in the evening and train themselves in clubs and take part in sport competitions. Many people who go in for sports have a lot of advantages in comparison with those who don’t like sport. First of all, all sportsmen become healthy and strong; sport helps them to keep fit, not to catch a cold. There are some popular kinds of sport in our country: football, ice hockey, gymnastics and figure skating. Figure skating and gymnastic competitions are attended by thousands of spectators in our country. Our country has achieved brilliant results in these kinds of sport. It is no wonder that there are a great number of football, ice hockey and figure skating fans in every town of our country. It was man’s desire for a healthy pastime and a method of self-evaluation and competition that gave birth to sports. Sports have been part of humanity from the earliest chapters of history. The games played in Egypt and Mayan civilizations prove this. Football, hockey and rugby are followed as religions, whereas the athletic meets are always full of celebrations. Sports have been an integral part of our generation from early childhood. However, the statement does not stand true in the present scenario anymore, as the new age kids have moved their playgrounds to cyber world, thus losing out on all the fun and learning experience. As peers, parents and friends, it is important to look deep down and ask ourselves that have we said and done enough for kids to know the real benefits of sports in life. Well, to preach we need to practice and for practice we need understanding too. Herein, we have tried to assimilate the importance of sports in the next few passages. Though it might not be sufficient to completely bestow the significance of sports upon the gen next, but it definitely is a start. Every sport involves various physical activities. Exercises and sports help in toning and strengthening the bones and muscles of your body. There are many benefits of playing sports for children. Engaging in several sport activities help them to come out of sedentary and boring lifestyle. In short, the benefits of sports help children to maintain ideal weight and stay in shape. The review covers peer reviewed and gray literature from 1990 to 2004. Papers were entered into review if they: aimed to explore the participants’ experiences of sport and physical activity and reasons for participation or non-participation in sport and physical activity, collected information on participants who lived in the United Kingdom and presented data collected using qualitative methods. From 1200 papers identified in the initial search, 24 papers met all inclusion criteria. The majority of these reported research with young people based in community settings. Weight management, social interaction and enjoyment were common reasons for participation in sport and physical activity. Concerns about maintaining a slim body shape motivated participation among young girls. Older people identified the importance of sport and physical activity in staving off the effects of aging and providing a social support network. Challenges to identity such as having to show others an unfit body, lacking confidence and competence in core skills or appearing overly masculine were barriers to participation. In 1992 the American Heart Association upgraded Physical Inactivity to the status of a Major risk factor for CHD development. Increased physical activity favourably affects blood lipids, obesity, hypertension, glucose tolerance, stress and cigarette smoking which positively impacts the risk of CHD Exercise also challenged.
