Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
There are those who claim that the best way to uplift public
health
is through adding more sports
facilities
. However
, others say that this
would produce few effects on public fitness and that other alternatives are needed. This
essay will discuss both views and state my own position.
On the one hand, some populations believe that having a lot of sports
comforts is the best way to improve public health
. They think that the availability of these entertaining facilities
will shift the attention of the crowd from doing drugs or other unhealthy vices to sports
, which is also
a form of exercise. In other cities, for instance
, members of the local council in cooperation with the youth sector proposed the constitution of a gymnasium that was finished early last
year. It became the venue for different events not only within our company but also
in the neighbouring community
. Since the construction of the sports
facility, the local health
station reported a significant decrease in clinic visits of the locals.
On the other hand
, other communities think sports
facilities
will have a little effect on public health
and that other measures are needed. They believe that there are activities that are more effective and more important, health
programs for example
. For them, having an activity that everyone can participate in is more effective than building more sports
facilities
. Perhaps activities, like conducting a daily exercise or helping the local health
department in locating ill people within the community
, would be a greater help. As for my experience, I was once a volunteer in our health
station wherein we do look for people in the community
needing health
attention and we refer them to the municipal health
office for evaluation and treatment.
In conclusion, I think both views are of great help in improving public health
. We, the residents, to the best of our ability should cooperate and help our community
leaders in improving public health
