While sports can lead to good physical health, it also positively impacts mental health. When a person is regularly active in sports, their body releases endorphins that reduce stress and anxiety and promote well-being. Participating in group sports fosters social connections that keep feelings of isolation and loneliness at bay.
Engaging in sports regularly also improves self-esteem and refrains negative thoughts regarding body image, enhancing overall confidence. Overall, sports provide a healthy outlet for emotions, reducing the risk of developing mental health disorders, and when integrated with mental health interventions, sports enhance psychological well-being.
