The three benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle are physical, social and emotional. Physical benefits are anything to do with the body; for example, training to run a marathon has physical benefits as it will increase the cardiovascular fitness of an individual; this will therefore improve the performance of the individual due to increased efficiency of the heart in delivering oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
Social benefits are related to the ability to interact with others; for example, playing as part of a football team has social benefits as you have to co-operate with others. This will therefore improve an individuals confidence in communicating and working with others as it is essential in a team environment.
Emotional benefits are anything to do with the mind. For example, when you achieve something that is difficult, like training and completing a triathlon, it can lead to an increase in self esteem. This will therefore make the individual feel more confident and motivated to continue to train in a difficult sport or activity.
In conclusion, participating in exercise can have huge benefits to an individual’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
