Some people believe that adults get motivated to exercise and play sports because of the major sports events on TV such as the Olympic Games and Football World Cup. Others say that there are many ways apart from TV to encourage them to exercise. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

People

often support the idea that broadcasting major sporting

events

increase the motivation of the public to exercise and play

sports

, while a substantial

number

of individuals feel that there are other ways of encouragement towards exercise. It is true that

events

like the Olympics increase the

sports

following and

number

of

people

starting physical

activities

, but

government

and community initiatives have shown that TV

telecast

of

sports

is not the only way to improve these

activities

. The essay supports the idea of community-based approaches to improve physical

activities

. A surge in sporting goods sales every four years has shown that television broadcast of the Olympics has a huge impact on the

number

of

people

opting for

sports

and physical

activities

around the event time.

This

further

improves when a country or the team wins a particular event. A massive rise in the

number

of

people

rushing to buy Javelin after the recent victory of

India

in the Olympic games is a perfect example of how impactful are the TV

telecast

of games. The sporting

events

also

provide a platform for viewers to understand the nitty-gritty of a sport, which

further

improves motivation to play the sport. The Popularity of Equisterian and Golf in

India

can easily be attributed to the Olympic

telecast

.

On the contrary

,

government

and community

activities

have far-reaching effects in improving physical

activities

among citizens, compared to sporting

events

telecast

, which loses its charm in a short period. A local gym that regularly organizes running and sporting

events

will have a constant effect on the growth of physical

activities

in the neighbourhood.

Additionally

,

government

initiatives have worked wonders to improve the

number

of

people

opting for an active lifestyle. To exemplify,

India

has focused on Khelo

India

and Yoga day to motivate

people

to bring exercise into their daily life. In conclusion, live

telecast

of sporting goods has increased the

number

of

people

following and taking on

sports

, but the majority loses interest in a short time, but

on the other hand

, regular local

activities

supported by neighbourhood and

government

have long-lasting effects.
