PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION

The Effect of Sports on Children Development

I. INTRODUCTION

Sports are a part of all cultures, both ancient and modern, but each culture defines sports

differently. The definitions that make clear how sports relate to play, games, and

competitions are the most helpful. Humans work because they have to; they play because

they want to, according to German theorist Carl Diem, who defined play as "purposeless

activity, for its own sake, the opposite of work." Play is autotelic, meaning that it has its own

objectives. It is both free will and unassisted. Children who refuse to play football (soccer)

when ordered to by their parents or teachers are not actually participating in a sport. If their

only motivation is money, professional athletes aren't either. The influence of sports on a

person's daily life and health is enormous. They give you a healthy body in addition to an

interesting routine. Participating in physical activities, such as sports, enhances heart health,

lowers diabetes risk, regulates blood sugar, and eases tension and stress. It also gives you

discipline, positive energy, and other admirable traits. Playing sports helps you build muscle

and improves your coordination and muscle memory. Sporting requires a significant amount

of time and energy. Some may believe that this will distract student-athletes from their

studies. However, the inverse is true. Sports necessitate memorization, repetition, and

learning — all of which are directly applicable to classwork. Furthermore, the determination

and goal-setting skills required for sports can be transferred to the classroom. Sports,

clearly, can help you achieve your fitness goals and maintain a healthy weight. They do,

however, promote healthy lifestyle choices such as not smoking or drinking. Sports also

have unnoticed health benefits, such as lowering the risk of osteoporosis and breast cancer

later in life. Exercising is a natural way to relax and release stress. You can also make new

friends who can act as a support system for you. When you're feeling stressed or under

pressure, call a teammate and go to the gym to talk it out.

Despite the popularity of sports as a leisure activity, empirical evidence on the relationship

between sports participation and children's development is limited. Prior research, mostly

from paediatrics or psychology, has focused on the role of sports in children's physical and

mental health. Those named Strong et al. Provide a synopsis of the extensive literature in

this field. Morrow et al., for example, discovered in an observational study that adhering to

the levels of physical activity recommended by national and international guidelines provides

clear health benefits. While this study focused on fitness outcomes, Meyer et al. found

positive effects for bone development during childhood in an experimental study of a school-

based physical activity intervention. The majority of research on the relationship between

sports and education has concentrated on the role of sports activities among high school

students or adolescents. Sports are one of the most popular extracurricular activities among

children. According to the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS), approximately 65% of

children around the world participate in sports. While 55% of American children participate in

youth sports, the figure for German children is slightly higher: approximately 70% of all

children aged 6-14 participate in sports activities (Behrens P. 2006). Furthermore, many

countries provide substantial public subsidies to such activities. Children learn skills for

organized sports through fun and developmentally appropriate active play. Many of these

skills, such as running, leaping, and climbing, are learned through free play in the right

developmental environment. Ample free play is required, especially during the preschool and

elementary school years, when the fundamental skills required for organized sports are

developed and combined (eg, kicking while running). Sports competition can be beneficial to

children because it contributes to healthy lifestyle development outcomes. Children can learn

physical, social, and cognitive skills through sports competition. Sports competition can be

both positive and negative in terms of development, depending on how children perceive

their experiences and how competitions are designed. This article investigates the positive

and negative effects of sports on children's development using derivative, adjustive,

generative, and maladaptive approaches. Sports competition was related to development in

four ways: it was a result of development, it could be a respite from developmental pressure,

it could be a source of development, and it could be detrimental to development. These

studies concentrate on physical education as part of the primary school curriculum. The first

paper focuses on the impact of physical education on obesity prevalence, whereas the

second paper focuses on the impact of recess time and physical education on children's

learning outcomes. On the contrary, we are interested in the impact of sports club

participation on children's health, school performance, and behavioral development aged 3

to 10 years.
