Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
With the prevalence of technology people are becoming excessively reliant on everything being done without any physical activity, to the point that public health has decreased over the past few decades. As a remedy, increasing the number of sport facilities has been suggested by some people, while others concur that extra steps should be taken.
One of the benefits of the rising number of sport centers is that it could divert public attention towards sports and healthy activities. With more facilities such as these, people will be encouraged to become their members, rather than frequenting pubs and venues where others may indulge in alcohol consumption and drug abuse. For instance, in underprivileged regions, where higher crime rates, such centers could even function as communities where young people could attend and avoid taking drugs or smuggling them. Furthermore, with the growing population all around the world, fewer gyms would not suffice.
On the other hand, while it is beneficial to construct more sport centers, they could be of no use without any consciousness raising. People must receive education about the pros and cons of leading sedentary lives. For example, parents ought to be obliged to encourage their children to do exercises on a regular basis. In addition, more attention should be paid to nutrition and the dangers of consuming genetically-modified foods. Also, public awareness should increase about the devastating effects of substance abuse and alcoholism.
In my opinion, by merely building sport centers and swimming pools public health will not improve, unless it is accompanied by efforts to raise the knowledge and understanding of people regarding the advantages of physical exercises.
