Question

article on neglect of sports

Answer 1

   Games and sports are very important for physical and mental

well being. They help to keep the body fit and free from disease. They keep the

diseases related to heart, obesity, mental stress and sleeplessness, at a

distance. They promote a spirit of self confidence, self reliance, discipline,

justice, fair play and patriotism. They are a source of recreation and

entertainment.

               Games and sports are very essential for students. But nowadays more importance is

given to studies and bookish knowledge and games are neglected. We all know,

'All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.' This is what is happening at

present. The lack of games in schools is making the life of students monotonous

and stressful. All round development of personality is not being achieved.

               'Health is wealth.' One can maintain good health by participating in games and physical

activities. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. A healthy person can work

hard cheerfully and face dangers boldly. If the schools provide an opportunity

for games and sports the students can perform exercises automatically and need

not join the gymnasium to exercise. Games provide all the health benefits of

brisk walking, running, cycling, skipping, swimming and yoga.

               So games and sports should be given an adequate place in the school curriculum.
