What are the benefits for adults of doing sports ?
Well, I think the advantages are almost the same for adults as they are for children. Adults do
sports in order to keep fit. When people get older, it is sometimes difficult to remain slim and
energetic
.
Exercising on a weekly basis allows you to feel better, and to think more clearly. When
you go for a run, or after a good sweat, you will feel relaxed. It is a great chance to forget about
your daily worries
.
Finally, adults are busy with their work, and they might not have so much time
to hang out with their friends. Playing basketball or badminton gives them an occasion to meet up
with friends or relatives.
2. What do you think of the saying "a healthy body leads to a healthy mind"? I couldn’t agree more with this saying. I definitely think that when you exercise and you are
fit, it will be easier for you to concentrate on your work. I go running two to three times a week,
and after a workout I feel refreshed and calm. And actually if I don't go running for a few days
because I am too busy and my schedule doesn't allow me to do so, I feel tired, and I find it hard to
be efficient at work. I truly think that people who are overweight will get tired easily in their
studies or work. Couch potatoes are never as productive as people who exercise.
3. Do you think schools should emphasize team sports over individual sports ?
I think that both are extremely important. Team sports are always beneficial for young people,
because they can bring everyone closer together. In our society, it is very important to learn how to
collaborate and get along with others
.
However, individual sports are also helpful, because kids
also need to learn how to rely on themselves
.
I think that individual sports can teach young people
how to be strong-minded, and determined
.
When a girl is running (around the track) in order to get
a good mark, she can only depend on herself. I think there's a lot to be learned through individual
sports.
