I have chosen Good Health and Well-Being because the aim is to ensure healthy living and promote well-being for all. Sport makes a significant contribution by preventing illness, improving mental health and promotiing social inclusion.
The contribution of sport: Regular physical activity reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, while helping to manage stress and anxiety. For example, the “Hoops for Health” program uses basketball to raise young people's awareness of healthy lifestyles, disease prevention and the importance of staying active.
Impact and potential: Sport creates healthier communities, reduces healthcare costs and improves overall well-being. Investing in sports programs can increase life expectancy, improve mental resilience and strengthen social ties, making sport a powerful tool for achieving SDG.
