Physical Activity and Sport in the Society
Physical activity and sport have always had and continue to have a tremendous impact on the society and its members.They influence the economy, health, working and functional capacities, harmonious development of children and adolescents and are also necessary for the defence of the nation. As a result physical education has become a compulsory subject for all types of schools.
Physical activity and sports helpmould a person,make people accustomed to an active and healthy lifestyle.And these are not the only reasons why thegovernment spends much money onpromoting and supporting physical activity and sports participation, building proper facilities, and providing school physical education.
Physicalactivity and sport support the economy and initiative. They create jobs and prevent diseases and early retirement. Supportingphysical activity is profitablefor the state asactiveparticipation of population in itannually produces billions in savings.When citizens invest in physical activity, they buy special equipment, clothing and services, they travel with their favourite teams and follow sports events through mass communication.Regularparticipation in physical activity significantly decreases sickness expenses and prevents early retirement due to illness and improves productivity. In addition citizens’ participation in physical activity creates significant funds in the form of income and purchase taxes.
Many people are employed in jobs related to sport and physical activity: in the manufacture and sales of sports equipment and clothes, teaching physical education, administering physical activity, sports complexes, communication media, and research and health institutes, travel, accommodation and health care.
Physical activity and sports constitute an essential part of the world’s culture and it’s almost impossible to quantify what influence sport has on everything people do. People talk about sports. They discuss sports like politics, entertainment and even religion. People who love sports get together to watch sports. For instance, watching football and hockey matches is very popular.
Sports provide entertainment for people throughout the world. Large crowds attend sporting events,millions of sports fans follow their favourite teams and athletes by listening to live broadcastings of games on the radio or watching sports competitions on television.
Sports have often been used as an instrument of national policy in the world arena promoting country’s interests and improving its image. Performing the noble mission of safeguarding peace,sports play a great role in politics by strengthening international friendship and cooperation.
The Olympic Games and international competitions make a significant contribution to the promotion of mutual understanding and trust among nations. When meeting at competitions athletes learn to respect and better understand each other, and this in turn, leads to a rapprochement of the nations which these young men and women represent.
