The Importance of Sports in Daily Life
Sports play a fundamental role in promoting both physical and mental well-being. Regular physical activity improves fitness levels, strengthens the immune system, and helps prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. It also reduces stress, enhances happiness by stimulating the release of endorphins, and fosters positive values such as teamwork, discipline, and collaboration, leading to stronger social connections and community bonds.
