Abstract
Introduction: Sports have a significant effect to improve human being’s health, physically, psychologically and socially. The social effect is due to the gatherings in group exercise activities and sports, which will provide lots of opportunities for people to improve and learn social interactions and abilities. So, sports activities are a process of multi-dimensional progression in different cultural and social aspects of life. Studies show sports not only cause the physical health improvements, but also have effect on preventing the psychological and social disorders and anomalies. Sports will reduce depression and increase self-confidence and improves self-esteem. For children, sport activities will cause a healthy way of releasing the energy.
The connection and integrity between body and mind is accompanied with mutual and common interactions, i.e., the body affects mind and vice versa.
