What Is The Impact Of Lifelong Participation In Sport And Exercise On Health?

Participating in sports and exercise put positive effects on the health of an individual, the estimation describes that engaging in regular physical activity is particularly apparent in the prevention of several chronic diseases (Côté & Hancock, 2016). In the UK, people increase their participation in games and sports because of living stress-free and to remain physically fit (Gries et al., 2018). Therefore, in the present report “The impact of lifelong participation in sport and exercise on health” topic is selected. The discussion will be made by describing the research question, research approach and conducting a literature review on the chosen topic.

The literature review is based on the interpretive approach in which qualitative methods are used and a review of the article is done on describing the reason for using the approach in the present study. Therefore, the interpretive approach is focused on the assumption that social reality is not objective as well as singular because it is created through experiences of the human. This approach is based on reality rather than developing the hypothesis for conducting the procedure of testing (Vijay et al., 2016). This approach is chosen because "the more participation in sports and performing exercise daily has a direct influence on the health of the individual in the UK", that is this subject is based on the reality in the society.

Researchers conducted the study to investigate the influence of exercise and sports in the health and physical activity of the individual (Pullen & Malcolm, 2018). In this study, research adopted a qualitative study is because researchers describe that qualitative information generates more clearness and precision in determining and understanding the information of the study. Therefore researchers describe findings with example that in the year 2018, more population in the UK are prevented from health issues such as they are mentally healthy due to the reduction of stress. Researchers find that the reason for fewer health issues is because more people participated in sports that are there is equal participation of men and women in the UK.

The study was performed through adopting the interpretive approach it is because no hypothesis is made to test the data so that results will be achieved, the information in the study is conducted through a literature review that is by reviewing several articles (Côté & Hancock, 2016). Researchers developed a research question which includes that what are the factors which influenced the health of people in the UK, in this researchers focuses on positive factors. Therefore through investigation researchers describes that games and sports provide the positive result to the people and strengthen the bones as well as enhance the stamina of the population in the UK.

Literature Review

The objective of the study is to understand the impact of the lifelong focus of a person participating in sports and exercise (Wilson et al., 2016). It is because researchers describe that the majority of health is prevented because of exercising regularly. Researchers conducted the study through a qualitative approach because researchers believe that the perspective and opinions of the respondent are highly involved in the social phenomenon. Through the investigation, researchers believe that for lifelong participation in sportspeople balance their diet and maintain flexibility. This should be estimated from the example that in the year 2015, the youngster maintains their diet and become more flexible because of participating in activities in their universities in the UK  (Eime et al., 2016). Researchers also faced some ethical issues which include that biasness with the respondents.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of encouraging people into sports for lifelong health (Jackson-Kersey & Spray, 2016). Therefore, the data collection was done through taking interviews from the respondents in this approach researchers used an interpretive approach for describing the results of the data systematically. Therefore through the analysis, researchers' description explains through taking an example that sports increase the satisfaction of the person because of reducing the fat and prevent them from depression as well as anxiety. Therefore study also describes that this approach has some limitations which include that in this more time and resources are required to provide accurate information and to link the data with the research objective (Hamer et al., 2018). The researchers also describe that more data sometimes reduce the efficiency of correct and accurate information.

Researchers perform the research to investigate the influence of contributing lifelong in exercise in the UK. In this researcher adopt the observation method because of using qualitative information; researchers studied the overall result and impact of phenomenon (Narushima et al., 2018). Researchers demonstrate that it adopted this approach because it helps in describing the hidden reason because of taking various opinions and describing them according to the result. The findings of the study revealed that its impact in a positive manner because researchers find that there is a link between exercise and psychological health because of reducing the depression, stress and anxiety from the individual. Researchers demonstrate that this approach also faces ethical challenges in which researchers face the problem of keeping the information of the respondents confidential (Durden-Myers et al., 2018). The study also faces limitations gathering information because of differences in the opinion and preferences of the different respondents, this sometimes gives inaccurate results.  

Researchers also describe the findings by taking the example that in the UK, regular exercise prevents people from high blood pressure, problems related to heart disease and several other major problems which include cancer (Northey et al., 2018). In this researchers adopted the qualitative approach because researchers believe that it is a suitable method for understanding the relationship between two factors that is in the present study exercise, sports and health are the factors for which the study is conducted.

The objective of the study is to analyze the effects of lifelong participation in sports on health disease prevention (Merghani et al., 2016). The study decided to use the qualitative method in which the opinions of the authors and respondents could be written descriptively. From the analysis, the researchers find that the estimation shows that exercise and regular exercise decrease the blood pressure and manage the weight of the individual. Therefore from the example researchers also demonstrate that exercise leads in providing a better mood and give better sleep to the individual.

The researchers also use a similar approach that is an interpretive approach it is because it supports the researchers to develop the theory and use the theory to attain the result so that outcomes of the research achieved according to the research objective (Nesti, 2016). Therefore data collection was through secondary method and findings revealed that more participation in sports and doing regular exercise reduce the blood cholesterol level of the person. For example, exercising a person remain physically fit and makes the bones stronger and reduce the threat of osteoporosis. This also supports the person to work efficiently by also decreasing the risk of a heart attack.

The objective of the research is to examine the influence of more involvement of a person in the exercise. In this study researchers adopted a qualitative method in this researchers give a clear description of the responses given by the participants (Vijay et al., 2016). The researchers selected this approach is because of conducting the study about the events and structure already performed. Through the analysis, the researchers describe that the "Center for Disease Control and Prevention" revealed that exercise reduces the problem of overweight because of increasing the energy level and increase the energy and improve the attitude and mood of the person. The study also demonstrates that ethical issues involved because each individual has different opinions regarding the exercise and health of the person (Ennis, 2017). It is because of culturally diverse, generation gap and due to several other differences. Researchers also describe that the study has several limitations which includes that it does not provide complete information because a person hesitates to disclose the overall information.

The purpose of the research is to investigate the influence of lifelong participation in sports and exercise on health issues (Thomson & McAdoo, 2016). This study is important because it also shows the negative effects of involving more in sports activities for the longer term. This researcher focuses on using the qualitative approach is because this study is based on the reality and problem which a person faces in society. The findings of the research revealed by taking an example that sports and exercise can increase the cognitive function of the individual by reducing depression and reduce the threat of having dementia. It also has negative effects which include that it can do sports-related injury to the person. The researchers describe that the study has limitations which include that it only focuses on using a qualitative approach that is no hypothesis and testing approach is used in conducting data analysis in an effective manner (Hallgren et al., 2017). The other is only the literature review method is used to get the information in which only respondents of authors are required.

The overall aim of conducting the research is to understand the association between taking involvement in exercise and sports in the overall condition of health in the UK (Gries et al., 2018). The study is conducted by taking the ideas of authors and describing with so that the opinions of the authors will be clearly shown. The investigation of the authors describes those lifelong results in reducing heart-related diseases to the individual. Researchers also describe that it can also prevent the person from lung cancer because regularly and lifelong in the exercise raise the lung's ability and build up the respiratory muscles.

The estimation also includes that health issues will be resolved by exercise and contributing more in games and sports (Dvorak et al., 2017). Therefore, through adopting the qualitative approach it becomes difficult to maintain honesty, confidentiality and legality so that ethical issues will be addressed. This researcher mainly adopts a qualitative approach because of understanding the reality in society so that research becomes important for another person to take necessary steps.  

The above-estimated articles describe that lifelong involvement in physical activities and exercise gives positive effects to the person in preventing health (Dvorak et al., 2017). The articles find that sports and exercise improve the heart and lungs related diseases. The results of the researchers also revealed that it improves the mental health of the person because of reducing depression, anxiety and enhancing the stamina of the individual (Jackson-Kersey & Spray, 2016). Some studies also revealed that exercise and sports manage the weight, reduce blood pressure and keep the individual healthy and fit. These studies adopt an interpretive research approach it is because the study is based on realism which affects the overall society. The study focuses on the health issue which influences positively because of enhancing the health and reducing disease of the individual (Gries et al., 2018).  This approach is also used due to understanding the association between health and exercise. The approach also has some limitations which show that it involves more resources and increases biasness because of describing the information and opinions of each author and respondent (Merghani et al., 2016). This data are not equally credible which results in misleading.

Conclusion

From the above, it is concluded that research is conducted based on examining the effects of lifelong involvement of a person in the sports and doing exercise. In this review qualitative approach is used due to focusing and containing the perspective of the respondents so that real and accurate data will be gathered. Therefore, through the review, it is revealed that there is a relation among the exercise, participation in sports and health because of reducing the diseases and maintaining a better diet of the person. The estimation describes that in UK people face lower health issues because of more participation in games and sports as well as doing more exercise regularly.
