Dear Stress, Let’s Break Up! Sports for Stress Reduction

Many people are prone to depression because they experience weariness and exhaustion from their daily obligations, particularly teachers and students. Some people may not, have the "capacity" to recognize the pressure they are under. We are aware that changes in ourselves might be felt when stress piles up, especially rapidly altering emotions. Stressed individuals often have sensitive personalities and become quickly agitated, even about things that seem trivial. Long-lasting headaches and shoulder spasms may be early signs of the body's reaction to too much stress.

Stress that isn't managed well or isn't under control can harm general health. As a result, both teachers and students need to find ways to control their stress through a variety of recreational activities. Making sports a lifelong habit and living a healthy lifestyle are two of the best methods to minimize stress. All physical activities that demand energy and dexterity, such as playing sports, are done for entertainment, to participate in competitions, or simply to fill idle time. Athletics, football, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, and tennis are a few examples of sports that are highly popular today. Physically demanding activities such as sports not only benefit the body but also help people become more action-oriented thinkers.
