Benefits of sport

There is a huge variety of sport you can get involved in, from team sports to solo endeavours, from rowing to football, to martial arts or swimming.

Sport is a great way to meet new people in a fun environment, whilst also de-stressing from the everyday worries of life. If you’re still not convinced, here are a few more reasons you should get involved in sport today:

• sport releases endorphins that make you happy and reduce anxiety and depression
• sport can reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes
• sport can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease
