Benefits of Sports
Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It's a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.
The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you'll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you're involved.Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.
Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child's confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth.So after a game, it's a better idea to ask "Did you enjoy the game?" rather than "Did you win?"
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership.Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.
Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics.

A. Height played a major factor. B. No such association was seen for men. C. The study was observational and couldn't establish cause. D. In fact, the study found that the optimal level of activity for women was 60 minutes a day. E. Neither height nor weight seemed to factor into whether the men reached their 90s, but activity level did. F. In addition, for each 30 minutes a day the men were active, they were 5％more likely to reach that age. G. And they included dog walking, gardening, home improvements, walking or biking to work and sports. |
Living to the ripe old age of 90 may depend on your body size—both height and weight—as well as your level of physical activity, and geeing to influence a woman's lifespan more than it does a man's.
The study found women who lived to 90 were, on average, taller and had put on less weight since the age of 20 as compared to women who were shorter and heavier. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} However, men saw more benefit from physical activity than women.
In 1986 researchers asked over 7, 000 Norwegian men and women between age 55 and 69 about their height, current weight, and weight at age 20. Both genders also told researchers about their current physical activities. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} The men and women were then sorted into daily activity quotas: less than 30 minutes, 30 to 60 minutes, and 90 minutes or more.
Men and women in the study fared very differently when it came to the impact of body size and exercise.
Women who weighed less at age 20 and put on less weight as they aged were more likely to live longer than heavier women. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The study found women who were taller than 5 feet 9 inches were 31％more likely to live into their 90s than women who were less than 5 feet 3 inches.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Men who spent 90 minutes a day or more being active were 39％more likely to live to 90 than men who were physically active for less than 30 minutes.
However, women who were physically active for more than 60 minutes a day were only 21％more likely to live to 90 than those who did 30 minutes or less. And unlike men, there was no bonus for increasing activity. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
