Physical education and sports – prevention of physical inactivity

Sports and a healthy lifestyle are inextricably linked with each other. This is confirmed by the famous saying: "In a healthy body – a healthy mind!". There is no arguing with this: as a rule, athletes are determined and purposeful people who are constantly moving forward. We are telling about the positive impact of sports on human health and character today, April 7, on World Health Day.

The technological progress of modern life has freed millions of people from hard physical labor, and our way of life has become surprisingly sedentary. A decrease in motor activity is of great concern to doctors and leads to an increase in morbidity and early mortality. The negative impact of physical inactivity is aggravated by an irrational daily routine, excessive and monotonous nutrition, high nervous tension and an extremely fast pace of life, smoking, alcohol abuse.

A universal means of combating physical inactivity is physical education and sports. Active motor mode is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Our state creates all conditions for this. The success of Russian athletes on the world stage, the scale of the physical culture movement and the implementation of physical culture and wellness programs to attract the broad masses of the population to systematic physical education prove this. A lot of work is also being done in the Lipetsk region to attract young people to a healthy lifestyle. Physical education and sports are incompatible with bad habits.

         A person engaged in physical culture is always outwardly beautiful, he has a slim figure, correct posture. Physical education and sports cause positive changes in the cardiovascular system: they increase its functionality and adaptation to high physical stresses. Under the influence of rationally conducted physical exercises, structural changes also occur in the bone and joint system, thanks to which bones become more durable and resistant to traumatic injuries. The muscles of a trained person get the opportunity to perform work for a long time. An increase in muscle mass leads to an improvement in blood supply due to an increase in the number of small blood vessels. Physical education exercises have a positive effect on the digestive system, improve its work and promote better absorption of nutrients.

         Humanity has experienced more than one craze for fashionable medicines, the latest theories of healing and rejuvenation, and every time another panacea turned out to be debunked.

         Physical activity has a positive effect on the whole body and activates the natural reserve forces of a person. Nothing is able to compensate our nervous system for what the active work of muscles and optimal physical activity bestow on it. Classes in the gym, swimming pool, stadium, playgrounds, skating rink, forest paths lay the foundation for high performance.  

         Physical culture, properly organized training sessions are a reliable shoulder that you can and should rely on at any age. Physical culture is a powerful accumulator of vital forces.
