It is clear that physical activities are essential for our bodies to be healthy. There was a time where people would actively partake in outdoor activities and challenge one another in every field of sports such as karate, cricket, boxing, bodybuilding, running, jumping, mounting, swimming and football and so on.

Unfortunately, today’s youngsters are standing at a large distance from such healthy and rich activities. Similarly, we usually find most youngsters caught in several diseases. It has been a new trend that video gaming is a way to pass time. 

We are totally unaware of all destruction which occurs after operating laptops, computers and mobile phones. Side effects of operating limitless mobile time in order to play some video games are that many people weaken their eyesight. It is too sad to see that playgrounds are empty; not as rushed as they should be. Every individual should earn their health and can maintain themselves strongly. There are many merits of physical activities/ sports. You will find yourself fresh, healthy, energetic and strong so on. 

As a matter of fact, sports is as compulsory as education, food and sleep is. In short, we must participate in extracurricular activities. If we don’t play sports or exercise, we will surely confront  fatal diseases and the horrible challenges of life. In the end, my message is for all; it is not to point out a particular group of people. It is not to throw cold water upon the users of games; but to encourage them, to motivate them, to be the part of physical activities which are neglected.
