Some people says that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, says that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required.

As a

, some

centres, while, others consider that

good

health

,

however

, a big part of the population do not do sport not because of the lack of these

facilities

but for other reasons.

Although

the idea of adding new

facilities

would allow

people

to have a larger choice of which type of

sports

to practice,

this

would not change radically the number of

people

who will join a centre. In many cases,

people

do not practise sport

in particular

because they do not have time or because they are lazy to do it.

In addition

, many

sports

centres have very expensive memberships costs. The possibility of increasing the number of

sports

facilities

could be transformed into a valuable resource if the government introduce them for free.

For example

, some cities like London have parks where

people

can find outdoor gyms to use. Having them in many green areas could involve

people

on a healthy lifestyle. Another useful

solution

could be dealing with the other major problems that affect the

health

of the population. Fast food and sugary drinks are one of the biggest reasons for obesity for that reason introducing a tax could be an easy

solution

to decrease their sales.

For instance

, some Mexican cities, considered as one of the highest consumers of Coca Cola, decided a few years ago to put a new tax that affects these types of drinks. In conclusion,

although

, only free

sports

facilities

could be a

solution

,

this

won’t be enough to increase public

health

. Indeed,

this

should be accompanied by other measures which deal with the primary reasons for

health

diseases.
