The word "sports" has two meanings: in a narrow sense, it refers to physical education in general; When used in a broad sense, it is the same as what is usually called "exercise", and its meaning refers to the educational process and cultural activities that improve health and quality of life with human movement as the basic means. The word "health" was put forward by the World Health Organization. "Health is not only the absence of disease and physical weakness, but also the maintenance of good physical, mental and social adaptability."

Therefore, I personally think that the relationship between sports and health is the relationship between means and purpose, that is, sports is the means and health is the purpose.

Physical exercise has a deep mass base, which is the most effective way to improve health and physical fitness, and can play a role in preventing and treating diseases. Sticking to scientific physical exercise can achieve the effect of "fitness, mental health and bodybuilding".

First, physical exercise can make people develop healthily.

1, promoting the healthy development of human body.

The growth and development of bones need constant absorption of nutrients. Physical exercise can promote blood circulation and increase blood supply to bones. At the same time, various movements in physical exercise also have a good stimulating effect on bone growth. Through scientific physical exercise, muscle volume will increase, muscle fat will decrease and muscle capillaries will increase. Make your body look plump and firm.

2. It can give full play to human functions.

Proper physical exercise is of great significance for maintaining and enhancing human activity ability. People who have been engaged in physical exercise for a long time can strengthen their physique and prolong their life.

According to domestic sports science research, physical exercise can improve motor function and the function of heart and circulatory system. Foreign scientists have also done an experiment to make healthy young people stay in bed for 9 days. It was found that their working ability of cardiac circulatory system, respiratory system and metabolism decreased by 265,438 0% on average, and their cardiac volume decreased by 65,438 00%.

Second, physical exercise can promote people's mental health development.

1, cultivate good will quality

Physical exercise, whether organized or individual, has a positive effect on the cultivation and exercise of good consciousness. Persisting in regular exercise requires consciousness and self-control. Anyone who has been engaged in physical exercise for a long time knows that it is impossible to persist for a long time without perseverance and perseverance to overcome difficulties. In physical exercise, you need to complete a certain amount of physical exercise and bear a certain amount of exercise load. Without consciousness, persistence and determination, it is impossible.

2. Adjust people's mood and improve people's spirit.

Good mood mainly refers to the stability and balance of the whole psychological state, which is conducive to maintaining and promoting the stability of the whole body. Engaged in physical exercise, you can adjust your emotions, and under the control of the central nervous system, adjust and balance all aspects of the internal relations of the body accordingly, which will also have a good effect on your emotions and spirits, especially for people who like sports.

Third, physical exercise can improve people's ability to adapt to society.

1, improve the human body's ability to adapt to the environment.

People who have the basis of physical exercise have strong adaptability to the external environment. There are two basic reasons: First, long-term physical exercise improves their health and physical fitness, and the ability of various tissues and systems of the body to withstand external stimuli and coordinate with each other is enhanced under the control of the central nervous system; Second, we often do physical exercise in various external environments and conditions, so that our body can be exercised and our adaptability can be improved continuously.

2. Promote social exchanges and friendship.

Physical exercise is a social activity. In the process of physical exercise, people can not only exercise, but also promote social communication and friendship in various exercise activities.

Therefore, "health" is the ultimate goal of sports. It has established the guiding ideology of "health first" in college physical education teaching, and cultivated students' awareness and habits of lifelong exercise, thus achieving the goal of cultivating college students' all-round development in morality, intelligence and physical fitness.
