Sports provide both physical and mental benefits for children. They stimulate growth, improve health, and reduce risks of diseases later in life. Playing sports contributes to lower obesity rates and makes children stronger. Beyond physical well-being, sports also aid children's psychological and social development by increasing confidence and teaching goal-setting. Most children in the US regularly play team sports, though participation has declined some among pre-teens. Being active is important for all ages but becomes even more crucial as people age to maintain health, independence, and quality of life.

Sports are an important part of the lives of most children in the United States. Just over 21 million youth between the ages of 6 to 17 play team sports on a regular basis, with another 5 million engaging on an occasional basis, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association annual survey of households. Kids are most active before the teenage years, though participation is declining. Children ages 6 to 12 who played sports regularly fell from 44.5 percent of that population in 2008 to 40 percent in 2013.
Many adults aged 65 and over spend on average 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down, making them the most sedentary age group. They're paying a high price for their inactivity, with higher rates of falls, obesity, heart disease and early death compared with the general population.
As you get older, it becomes even more important to you remain active if you want to stay healthy and maintain your independence. If you don't stay active, all the things youve always enjoyed doing and taken for granted may start to become that little bit harder.
