The interplay between sports, public health, and sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a multifaceted relationship that has gained significant attention in recent years. This paper explores the ways in which sports can contribute to achieving the SDGs, particularly focusing on health-related goals. By examining the impact of sports on physical activity, mental well-being, and social inclusion, this study highlights the potential of sports as a powerful tool for fostering healthier populations and sustainable communities.
