Abstract

This paper investigates the correlation between sports participation and long-term health outcomes. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical studies, it examines the various physical, mental, and social benefits associated with regular engagement in sports activities. The analysis highlights the positive impact of sports on cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal system, mental health, and overall well-being. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential long-term health risks that may be associated with insufficient physical activity and inactive lifestyles. Furthermore, it explores the social and economic implications of sports participation on public health policies and interventions. The findings suggest that promoting sports participation can contribute significantly to the prevention and management of chronic diseases, enhancing individuals' quality of life and longevity.
