Эссе: Sports help people to fight stress

There is a great number of people who say that doing sports relieves stress, while others are sure that sport is not effective against stress. In this essay, I will try to express my opinion on this issue. To my mind, sports help to manage stress. Firstly, any physical activity or exercise reduces stress. They produce endorphins, which reduces stress. Secondly, just a change of activity, which was the source of stress to any exercises can help to fight stress too. It helps to stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and sleep. However, there are people, who are sure that sports are not effective in fighting stress. Sports themselves can be the source of stress. Fear of failure or injuries or concerns about social evaluation cause a lot of stress. I cannot totally agree with that opinion because most of that concerns professional sportsmen. Amateurs can choose any sport, which fits them or just start walking or running if they are too concerned what other people will think about their sports achievements. To conclude, I would like to say that sports are one of the best choices for people to cope with stress. The effect is fast and any person can find a sport fitting him.
