Positive aspects of sports

Being a physical education major at SUNY Cortland, I am highly involved in activities, and always involved in sports. Many people are unaware of how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle, and to continue to stay active all the time. Sports bring about physical activity and cause you to strain your muscles, and eventually making them stronger. It's easy to stay out of games and activities because you are not good at them, but people should look at that as a challenge and should want to get good at it.
A positive health aspect of sports is that it gets kids and people outside moving around and getting fresh air. It's scary to think about how our country suffers from so much obesity, but yet we are so technologically advanced. The problem is people aren't telling their kids to go out and play, they're trying to teach them how to work a remote or play on the computer. Promoting good habits at a young age could lead them to a healthy future. It sounds simple, but yet we still see less kids around neighborhoods playing games with each other. It could be our own fault because we do make these games and give them to kids, but this is how our society works.
Even getting off the topic of just sports being positive, we can also say that easy activities can be good too. Games like tag, spud and other childhood games were good to get the blood flowing and kept kids active. A major problem with our country is physical INactivity, too many people don't move. However this is a problem that cannot be solved in one day, or year probably, so well have to wait and see where sports will play a role in our life in the future.
