  increase fitness. A weight training programme
  combined with taking part in a sport can ensure
  that muscles can be strengthened and made more
  flexible, becoming more toned in the process.
• Exercising obviously expends energy which uses up
  calories. This can contribute to a weight loss
  programme.

2. To help the individual feel good

• Exercise produces a hormone called serotonin
  which is often termed the feel good hormone
  thus exercise is also good for the mind.
• Exercising regularly can help keep the body in
  shape and helps people look better this can in
  turn improve confidence and self esteem. These
  could also be increased after overcoming a
  difficult physical challenge.

3. To relive stress and tension

• Physical activities can provide a distraction
  from the problems of daily life and can relieve
  stress and tension caused by things like work,
  family and school.

4. To improve health

• People who are physically fitter usually cope
  better when they become ill.
• The ability to withstand and recover from illness
  is related to fitness. Often, the fitter you are
  the quicker you can recover from common illnesses
  such as a cold or flu.

5. For Enjoyment

• Most people who play a sport will be
  participating because they enjoy it.
• Some might be forced to do it, others might be
  highly competitive and some because they know its
  good for them.

Cooperation

• Team games in particular help improve teamwork
  and cooperation. These skills are essential in
  everyday life. Encouragement and support are
  fundamentals in performing well as a team.

Competition

• Competition is often a part of sport/activities.
  This can be in terms of psychologically
  preparing for an game/race and in terms of
  concentrating on doing well in that activity.

18
A physical challenge

• Often termed a physical challenge when in the
  early stages the task seems like an
  impossibility. Mental strength is also essential
  if you are to achieve the physical challenge. An
  example is the London Marathon.

Aesthetic appreciation

• We have an aesthetic appreciation when we take
  part in or watch moments in sport which are
  beautiful. YOUTUBE CLIP
• It is often the observer not performer who
  appreciates the action/event but often the
  performer will know when the action feels
  right. The term aesthetic appreciation is
  usually, but not exclusively, associated with
  dance, diving or gymnastics .

Development of Friendship and Social Mixing

• Think of all of the people you mix with when you
  take part in a sport
• Coaches
• Trainers
• Physiotherapists

  self motivation. Most activities do have a
  social side and friendships can developed.
