Most young people know that exercise can have a lot of health benefits. For example, it can help you lose weight or keep healthy. 1 Read on and find out!
A number of studies show that exercise and sports can help young people improve their self-esteem (自尊心). 2 Learning and taking part in a sport or an activity can help you feel more in control of the things that you do, which is an important part of self-esteem.
Regular exercise can also help you feel more relaxed, and this can help you fall asleep more quickly at night. Experts say that teenagers should get between eight to ten hours of sleep every night. 3 Having a good night’s sleep is important—it can make you feel in a better mood. Not having enough sleep can make you feel angry and less sociable.
4 The American National Alliance for Youth Sports says that when people make friends through sports, the friendship can last a long time.
Some kinds of exercise such as team sports help you with teamwork skills. Team sports can also help you communicate better with others because there is often a need for fast and effective communication. 5 So next time you do something active, remember—it’s not just about getting in shape—there are a lot of other benefits too, from having a good night’s sleep to improving teamwork skills.
