J Long term benefits for children who take part in recreational sports Sport touches the lives of many people. It is enjoyed by young and old, gifted and challenged, girls, boys, women and men. Recreational sport programs are seen as an active and positive choice in a time when we are all faced with more and more difficult decisions. This is especially true for the youth in our community. Children and teens who participate in regular sport activities have immediate and long ferm benefits. These benefits include: higher levâ€" els of fitness; better health; social involvement; stress and tension reduction; increased selfâ€"esteem and selfâ€"confidence; and satisfacâ€" tion derived from developing new physical skills. Studies have shown that a positive experience in sport will turn children on to physical activity for life; increase academic focus and decrease the chances of smoking.
