THE ROLE OF SPORTS IN THE FORMATION OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE

“Movement as such can, in its action, replace any remedy, but all the remedies of the world cannot replace the action of movement” (Tissot XVIII century France) The need for movement is one of the general biological needs of the organism, which plays an important role in its life activity and the formation of a person at all stages of his evolutionary development. Development occurs in close connection with active muscular activity. Motor activity is one of the main factors that determine the level of metabolic processes of the body and the state of its bone, muscle and cardiovascular systems. It is closely related to the three aspects of health: physical, mental and social, and plays a different role during a person's life. The body's need for motor activity is individual and depends on many physiological, socio-economic and cultural factors. The level of need for physical activity is largely determined by hereditary and genetic characteristics. A certain level of physical activity is necessary for the normal development and functioning of the body to maintain health.
