5. Introduction
• Building on the Ottawa Charter (WHO,1986),
the World Health Organization (WHO) has
advocated the use of settings as the basis for
health promotion
• This settings-based approach started out with
a focus on settings such as cities, schools,
hospitals, industry and workplaces.
• Later it found in the rising interest in sports
clubs as a health promoting settings.
5

6. Introduction Cont…
• Many chronic diseases (CVD, cancer,
diabetes, etc.), which are faced today are
associated with obesity, which is due to an
increasingly sedentary modern lifestyle and
an unhealthy diet.
• Sport and physical activity are essential for
improving health and well being. Appropriate
forms of sport and physical activity can play a
significant role to prevent as well as help cure
many of the world's leading non-
communicable diseases.
6

7. Introduction Cont…
• Evidence shows that regular participation in sports
provides wide range of physical, social and mental
health benefits.
• Such active participation also interacts positively
with strategies to improve diet, discourage the use
of tobacco, alcohol and drugs and enhance
functional capacity.
• Sports and physical activity is an effective method
of disease prevention for the individual and, for
nations, a cost-effective way to improve public
health.
7

8. Introduction Cont…
• A review of literature indicates that people
who participate in sports & organized
recreational activities enjoy better mental
health, are more alert, and more resilient
against stresses of modern living.
• Participation in recreational groups and
socially supported physical activity is show to
reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
Violent crime also decreases significantly
when participation in community activities
increases.

9. Global Scenario
9

10. Global Scenario
• The health burden from preventable non-
communicable diseases, such as CVDs,
cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory
diseases, is increasing significantly
throughout the world.
• WHO estimates that mortality, morbidity
and disability resulting from these leading
diseases currently account for
approximately 60% of all deaths and 43%
of the global disease burden. 10

11. Global Scenario Cont…
• Unhealthy diets, tobacco use and physical
inactivity are the dominant factors causing
these chronic diseases and are now
leading public health issues in most
countries.
• Physical inactivity is estimated to directly
cause 1.9 million deaths globally.
11

12. Global Scenario Cont…
• Globally, over 60% of adults do not participate in a
sufficient amount of sport and physical activity,
largely due to changes in lifestyle such as
inactivity at work, sedentary forms of recreation,
like television and computers, and excessive use
of 'passive' modes of transport.
• Those most likely to be physically inactive are
women, older people, the disabled and people
from lower socio-economic groups.
• One-third of adolescents are insufficiently active,
with girls offered less opportunities to be active
than boys.

13. Sports for Improving Health
13

14. Sport as Instrument for Improving
Health
• Engaging in sport & Physical activity can reduce
the risk of dying prematurely from non-
communicable diseases as well as developing
illnesses from CVDs, cancer and diabetes to
stress, anxiety and depression.
• It also helps prevent and reduce hypertension,
control body weight, prevent and control
osteoporosis and manage chronic pain.
• Sport can further contribute to priority health
issues, including as a tool to mobilize societies in
support of immunization campaigns and in
HIV/AIDS programming 14

15. Sport as Instrument for improving
Health Cont…
• Medical evidence shows that participation in
physical activity, as part of an overall healthy
lifestyle, is the most cost-effective and
sustainable way to tackle the rise in non-
communicable diseases.
• improving public health and reducing health
care costs, sport and physical activity also
provide significant economic benefits through
increased productivity.
