Picing a regular activity requires time and energy. Consequently, it prevents people from putting on too much weight, and so it prevents the cardiovascular problems that go along with obesity. Sport strengthens the muscles, but also the rest of your body like the bones. It reduces the risks of disease (hypertension, diabetes, heart attack, etc.).
Sport gives more energy and endurance so you can do much more things in a day. Moreover, people who practice a physical activity usually take healthy decisions and avoid eating unhealthy food (with too much fat, sugar or salt in it), drinking alcohol or smoking, because they do not want their efforts to be in vain.
Sport is rewarding and exciting, especially when you see that your efforts makes you change.
2. Teenagers, adults and sport
If the percentage of people practicing a physical activity has risen in the last 15 years, this is only true for adults who love walking, cycling or skiing when their free time allows them to devote themselves to their passion. Unfortunately this is not the case for teenagers who tend to spend more and more time indoors, watching series or playing video games instead of exercising. This is alarming because these bad habits are very dangerous for health: lack of exercise can cause stress, worsen the sleep, and encourage obesity. Moreover, as it is often activities that you do when you are alone, these habits can make them more isolated and socially awkward. Sedentary activities are not bad, but you have to counterbalance them with physical activities.
