Respected leading teacher, teachers and my dear friends, I am here to speak on the topic of sports and importance of physical activity. The name of the topic is enough to fill me with excitement. Sports and games have been a part of our lives since childhood. Any sort of activity that requires our body and mind to be completely engaged can be considered a sport or a game.This activity can be practiced in any kind of set up whether indoors or outdoors.Playing games was a great way to pass time as kids but as we grow up often other works take more time and becomes a priority. It is all the more important than to include sports and games in our daily routine. It strengthens not only our body muscles but also our mind. It teaches us many life lessons which books cannot. It teaches us how to deal with failures, and come back stronger. It makes one learn about sportsmanship. It is very important to take some time to be involved in some form of physical activity or at least do so in leisure time. Sports have many benefits, most importantly it improves our way of life in every aspect. It stimulates our blood flow, blood pressure is reduced and cardiovascular health improves. The risk of heart failure reduces, helps in weight management keeping obesity at bay. Flexibility and muscle coordination of the body improves. It is crucial for the mental development of a child. When we keep ourselves fit and healthy we are more likely to succeed in other areas of life as well, professionally and personally. Even an hour of some form of physical activity in the form of sports and games will help us keep healthy, stress-free and disease-free. Let’s not take our health for granted and take care of it by keeping fit. Thank you for patiently listening to me
