THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT ACTIVITY FOR HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

Regular physical activity determines the quality and length of a person's life. Properly selected activity also enriches the intellectual sphere and allows you to maintain a balance between the condition of the body and the state of mind. It contributes to a better psychophysical condition, as well as to better well-being. Physical activity is extremely important for the proper development of an individual, especially when modern society is exposed to a sedentary lifestyle. Playing sports and systematic outdoor movement not only brings many benefits to the individual, but also to society as a whole. A healthy society lives longer, is more productive and, above all, is aware of a healthy lifestyle. Physical activity is therefore an important factor shaping health, healthy habits, and also valuable leisure activities. Physical activity is an important element in the prevention of civilization diseases. Movement, which is inherent in life, is limited by scientific and technical development and must be artificially generated (e.g. by active participation in physical recreation) to ensure health. Physical activity is a necessary condition for maintaining health, it stimulates the proper physical, mental, social and spiritual development of every human being. It reduces the negative impact of excess stress on the body, prevents the occurrence of motor system disorders, and reduces the risk of developing diseases of affluence. Movement is the most effective medicine and an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Systematically undertaken physical activity is proof of the care for health, its preservation and restoration, and it also makes it easier for a person to achieve life priorities. Any exercise performed with the right intensity is a blessing for people of all ages. They help to ensure good health, strengthen family ties, and provide a sense of happiness (thanks to the so-called endorphins, also known as the happiness hormone, which are released in the body under the influence of exercise). Physical activity helps to relieve stress, makes you sleep better and rests more effectively. People undertaking physical activity live longer and enjoy a better quality of life.
