The Importance of Physical Activity

Physical activity is very important for our health. Doctors recommend that young people exercise for at least 60 minutes every day. This can include walking, running, swimming, cycling, or playing team sports like football and basketball.

In Algeria, many schools have sports facilities such as football fields, basketball courts, and gymnasiums. However, statistics show that only 40% of teenagers do regular physical activity. The rest spend most of their free time sitting in front of screens.

Regular exercise has many benefits. It strengthens our muscles and bones, improves our heart and lung function, and helps us maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity also reduces stress and anxiety, improves our mood, and helps us sleep better at night.

Sports also teach us important values like teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. When we play sports, we learn to work with others, follow rules, and never give up even when things are difficult.
