IMPORTANCE and BENEFITS OF SPORTS
Have you ever thought why people do sports? Absolutely, many
people seem not to know the reasons. As a anecdote, there are many people who
do sports for nothing around us. Every day we can encounter with these people. They
regularly do sports; however, none of them realizes the benefits and importance
of sports. In fact, vice versa, some people want to be fit and attractive, look
smart. Unfortunately, these people can’t consider other benefits of sports. In
my opinion, there are several benefits of sports that people often do not
consider: sports are required to be healthy people, are needed for enjoyment,
and are great market for countries’ economies.
The first advantage of sports for people is that they help
people be healthy, and be fit. Throughout history, people can’t give up their
interest at their body. I believe that now many people love themselves no
matter how beautiful or ugly they are. Naturally, people’s first aim should be
healthy and fit with the benefits of sports. Due to this fact that Sports keep
our body healthy. As a possible example, imagine that there is a car which has
not worked for years. If you try to run the motor engine, it will not work
anymore since it has been rusted and its engine may be broken down. As a
result, people is similar to engines and motors. If we don’t do sports, we will
be forced to rust, in other words, decomposition of our body; afterwards, we
may have some problems with our body when we even need to small walk. In
addition, sports balance our body’s blood pressure and circulation. According
to many researchs which have been done by scientists, we can prove the
importance of sports for our health because 70% middle aged people who did not
do sports in their youth are now struggling with the problems such as high
tension, trouble with blood circulation, easily become tired due to the lack of
sports.
The second advantage of sports for people is that they are
required for our daily lives and competing at the international area because of
enjoyment of sports. For many years, sports have been done by people. For
example, have you ever thought why people want to play football or other games?
The answer may be easy since sports are entertaining. They are sometimes magics
as they catch our attention and give us pleasure as much as we need. Sometimes
overwhelming life conditions may be unfair and make us unhappy. However, if
there is a sport activity when we are unhappy, we will probably be motivated
and be refreshed again after the sport activity. This should be the most
important benefit of sports because many people do sports for this reason. In
addition, have you ever thought why millions of people watch World Cup match
without breathing? There might be some reasons behind the action of watching
football match. The most important one might be the excitement and enjoyment of
sport. Football match is exhilating because it gives us pleasure to watch. In
the pitch and near the pitch, there are more than 18 men, and they are the
representative of our sport culture. Within the excitement of sports, countries
are able to compete in the international area. Due to this fact people like
sports since they and their countries are able to compete and beat opponent
countries and this is the most important reason to take pleasure from sports.
The final and least advantage of sports is that they are the
huge market for countries economy. First of all, if we look at only football
industry. There are more than thousand professional team and at least these
team have 25 players. If this is calculated, there are approximately 25000
players without working staff, scouts, coaches and managers. This should be the
largest industry which employs many people in Turkey. In addition, countries
and clubs have to establish new facilities for sports game. Some of them are
the largest buildings in the entire country that represent countries, for
example Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Turkey. Supplying funds for this buildings
may be the publicity of countries since constructing well designed stadiums
help country prepare or organize big competitions such as World Cup, Olympics,
and Tennis Tournaments. Finally, sports allow advertisement companies to make
publicity of strong brands. For example, sponsorship is one of the best publicity
of one company. Everyone watches their favourite team or athlete, and audience
will probably see the sponsor of team or athlete. For example, in England,
Manchester United which is one of the most powerful clubs in international area
has a sponsor called Vodafone. I am from Turkey, and I even know its sponsor.
This will probably show the effectiveness of sponsorship in sports.
All in all, we can conclude that there are several
advantages and benefits of sports. First, sports are required by people to be
fit, smart, and good looking. Second, sports are entertaining due to many
facts. Third, sports are the huge market for countries’ economies. In my
opinion, despite sports’ advantages, many people can’t believe that sports are
useful and beneficial. I hope that in the future these people will tend to be
more optimistically to sports since they are the necessity of our lives.
