mental and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity. The
enjoyment of the highest attainable standard
of health is one of the fundamental rights of
every human being without distinction of
race, religion, political belief, economic or
social condition.”
– Constitution of the World Health
Organization (WHO), 1946

10. SPORT AS A TOOL
TO PROMOTE
HEALTH AND
PREVENT
DISEASE
Sport’s unique and universal power to attract,
motivate and inspire makes it a highly
effective tool for engaging and empowering
individuals, communities and even countries
to take action to improve their health. Sport
can also be a powerful means of mobilizing
more resources in the global fight against
disease, but this potential is only just
beginning to be realized.

11. Physical activity and sport support strategies to
• improve diet
• discourage the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs.
As well, physical activity and sport help
• reduce violence
• enhance functional capacity
• promote social interaction and integration.
Sport generates health benefits in two primary ways —
• through direct participation in sport itself
• through the use of participatory and spectator sport as a platform for
communication, education and social mobilization.
Well-designed sport for health initiatives often work on both levels.

21. A few Good Tips
• Support with mental health and physical health: Its not always easy to get
started and maintain motivation, sometimes some mental health services ( vol and stat )
have programmes, sports and activities where additional support is provided, they may be
worth seeking out. If you are seeking advice and support from a mental health professional it
might be worth discussing about having sport and exercise as part of any meaningful
treatment plan etc. Example: Rethink’s Well Active campaign.
• Do what you enjoy! : Figure out what type of exercise or activities you're most likely to
do. And think about when and how you'd be most likely to follow through. For instance,
would you be more likely to do some gardening in the evening or go for a jog in the pre-dawn
hours? Go for a walk in the woods or play footie with the kids after school? Do what
you enjoy to help you stick with it.
• Realistic goals: Set some realistic or reasonable goals……. You don’t have to be walking
for an hour five days a week. Think about what you may be able to do in reality. Twenty
minutes? Ten minutes? Start there and build up. Tailor your plan to your own needs and
abilities rather than trying to meet idealistic guidelines that could just add to your pressure
and could place you under more stress…..which is not helpful!!

22. • Don’t see it as a burden: If exercise is just another "should" in your life
that you don't think you're living up to, you'll associate it with failure, if you
have difficulties with your mental health see exercise as another tool to use to
get yourself to get better.
• Look at the reasons for avoidance: Figure out what's stopping you from
exercising. If you feel intimidated by others or are self-conscious, for instance,
you may want to exercise in the privacy of your own home. If you stick to goals
better with a partner, find a friend to work out with. If you don't have extra
money to spend on exercise gear, do something that's virtually cost-free —
walk. If you think about what's stopping you from exercising, you can probably
find an alternative solution.
• Accept some setbacks!: Exercise isn't always easy or fun. And it's tempting
to blame yourself for that. People with depression are especially likely to feel
shame over perceived failures. Don't fall into that trap. Give yourself credit for
every step in the right direction, no matter how small. If you skip exercise one
day, that doesn't mean you're a failure and may as well quit entirely. Just try
again the next day.
• Don’t concentrate on lack of motivation: Focusing on a lack of
motivation and willpower can make a person feel like a failure. Instead,
identify strengths and skills and apply those to taking some first steps toward
exercise.

23. • I’ve never done it
• I wasn’t good at sports at school
• I would feel silly
• Other people would make fun of me
• It won’t help unless it hurts - ‘No pain, no
gain’
• It’s sweaty and uncomfortable
• I’m too tired
• I would rather do something else
• It’s expensive
• I think it will make me feel worse
• I don’t have anyone to do it with
• I don’t know where, when or how to start.
• I have too many family commitments
• I don’t have any facilities nearby
The Lame
Excuses!!

24. How to Execute one!
The action plan
The action plan can help you: to recognise the goals for
yourself, what you would like to do, and what you are going to
aim for. It can map out simply what you need to do to get there
and when you are going to do it.
The exercise chart
This is your charting of putting that into practice…the recording
element, you can look back and reflect on this as you wish.
Some charts are ridiculously over complicated, it doesn’t need
to be, you can do your own, but here is a very simple one that I
have found on the internet, there are many others if you take a
minute to browse.
