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 own opinion.

Sample 1:

It is argued that providing more sports centres or health clubs would be the most effective method for improving public health. From my point of view, however, proper health education would be a better measure.

On the one hand, people’s health has been greatly enhanced thanks to participation in sports facilities. It is an undeniable fact that fitness levels are increased by taking part in physical activities such as doing daily exercise or playing sports. Therefore, the increasing popularity of gym classes or sports clubs gives people more chances to improve their health. After a hard day at work, many residents in my neighbourhood attend evening yoga classes in order to keep fit and stay healthy.

On the other hand, I would argue that increasing the provision of sports amenities would have little impact on public health. This can be explained by the fact that many people who paid for an annual gym membership failed to go entirely after just one month. Therefore, I think that it is more important to educate citizens about basic health awareness. A person would easily avoid some potential health problems if he is equipped with sufficient basic knowledge about medicine and health care. For example, when a child knows more about the adverse effects of smoking, he might be less likely to take up this bad habit in his adulthood. Public campaigns and health protection programmes, thus, should be promoted so that people know how to protect their health effectively.

In conclusion, the growing prevalence of sports facilities has brought a wide range of health benefits for people; yet I personally believe that raising public awareness through health campaigns would have a more positive impact on improving people’s health.

To improve public health, some people suggest that sports can play a vital role. It is said that “Healthy mind is in a Healthy body”. By increasing the number of sports facilities, we can create an environment of courage, sportsmanship, and tolerance. The minds of youth can also be directed towards healthy activities through sports promotion.

However, some people believe that sports facilities alone are not sufficient to improve public health. There are many socio-economic factors that gravely affect public health, such as water & sanitation, rampant population & pollution, lack of hygienic manners and social unrest. These factors need to be addressed to improve overall public health.

In my opinion, in a country like Pakistan, where people are living under the “shadow of fear” due to prevailing terrorism in the country we need a diverse approach. Speaking of flourishing poverty, inflation, and unemployment – availing sports facilities could be a luxury. And then there is a vast majority of areas deprived of basic health facilities, where one doctor is available for thousands of people. Sports can play a role but only if people are content with their lives.

There is a dire need for government to take solid actions to improve the general well-being of the people. Firstly, it must improve the security situation in the country to give peace of mind to the public. Secondly, it must improve the water & sanitation system and must put a serious check on pollution increase and should take steps to reduce poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. Thirdly, the society must improve general hygiene level to have a positive impact on overall public health.

Sample 3:

Public health has been always one of the sophisticated issues in each society and over the last several years, there have been lots of efforts made by governments to improve public health in some countries. However, some believe that extending sports facilities in each corner of the country can have a deep effect on this matter; some others opine that other ways would be more appreciated to have a healthy society. So, this essay has tried to cover both of mentioned views and then will suggest one of the best strategies to increase health indicators.

Availability of the sports facilities can make a situation where anyone in any place can do exercise and undeniably it affects some parameters of public health in a society. Put another way, these days people can easily find gems near their houses, and they don’t need to waste time and cost of going to some specific areas to do exercise. By contrast, over the last few years, people should spend time for the mentioned purpose and most of the times they don’t attend to do exercise as they find it difficult because of the shortage of sports facilities.

However, making sports facilities in each street or residential areas can have a bit effect on public health, this cannot encourage people to do exercise lonely. Hence, public awareness about the role of exercising in health would be considered besides extending gems. For example, the media should be more concerned about public health and broadcast some suitable programs to show the importance of exercising on physical and mind health. Also, there should be held several meetings in schools and universities to invite people to go to gyms by describing its benefits.

I think, therefore, if people know that exercising is such a long-term investment as they don’t need to pay for serious diseases in older age, they would be interested in using sports facilities; however, enough sports facilities should be constructed in each part of cities and villages.

Sample 4:

A group of people believe that by adding more sports facilities in the community, it will increase the public awareness about a healthy lifestyle. On the contrary, others think that the idea is ineffective, and they believe that there are other ways which are more effective and efficient. The following essay will discuss in detail the two statements.

On the one hand, some people think that the best solution for improving public health is by providing a lot of sports facilities in the society. The existence of jogging tracks facilities, athletic fields, basketball halls or football grounds in residential areas would trigger the residents into doing some exercises. With the increasing number of people who do physical exercises, it is expected that the rate of several diseases which are caused by unhealthy lifestyles, such as diabetics, heart attack or obesity would be reduced. Consequently, public health expenditures would be declined and could be allocated for other important aspects such as education or public transportation.

On the other hand, another group of people believe that building some sports facilities in the community would not be effective without health education campaigns. It is undeniable that health campaign is an essential matter since it is important to open the mind of the public about having a healthy lifestyle. The campaign should be well prepared, socialised properly and implemented thoroughly, therefore, the public will get the awareness about healthy lifestyles. Once people have realised about the lifestyles, then they would utilise the sports facilities that have been built by the government.

In conclusion, several people think that adding more sports facilities in the neighbourhood would improve the public health, but others believe that it would only have a small effect. There are other things that should also be prepared besides building the facilities. In my opinion, I do believe that building some sports facilities in residential areas should be aligned with health education campaigns, therefore, the facilities would be utilised by the public.

Sample 5:

The government has a vested interest in the mental and physical well-being of its citizens. In recent years, there has been an increased spending by government to improve the sports infrastructure to encourage people to stay healthy. But it can be argued that providing sports facilities alone will not be enough to motivate the people to stay fitter but other incentives are required to make the people stay fit. This essay analyses the benefits of government actions to promote public health and suggests other methods that can be employed to improve them.

Firstly, physical and psychological benefits created by sports activities contribute to a better healthy body. Regular practice of games like badminton and basketball increases the heart rate and burns the deposited fat from the body that in turn can help improve the health of the individuals. Furthermore, engaging in games can improve concentration and relieve stress accumulated at the workplace. Thus, sports-related activities help the people in leading a healthy lifestyle.

However, the bigger challenge for the government is to create awareness about health and instil interest in their mind to engage in sports-related activities. Creating sports facilities in several places of cities may not generate a lot of interest among the public to use them. They have to create awareness campaigns and incentivise the sports facilities so that the general public can appreciate the benefits of using them. It can be achieved through advertisement campaigns and special prizes for good attendance.

In conclusion, the government should aim at creating a healthy society by not only creating sports facilities but also encouraging the public to use the facilities. I strongly believe that governments following the above-mentioned actions will lead to a healthy society.

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 health and that other alternatives are needed. These views will now be discussed, and I will give my opinion at the end of the essay.

Some people believe that having a lot of sports facilities is the best way to improve public health. They think that with the availability of these recreational facilities will shift the attention of people from doing drugs and/or other detrimental vices to sports, which is also a form of exercise. In our community, for instance, members of the local council in cooperation with the youth sector proposed the constitution of a gymnasium was finished early last year. It became the venue for different events not only within our community but also the neighbouring community. Since the construction of the sports facility, the local health station has reported a significant decrease in clinical visits of the locals.

On the other hand, other people think sports facilities will have 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.

Many people believe that sports facilities are essential for improving public health as sporting activity helps to maintain a body diet. But sports facilities are not the only solution to improve public health. While a healthy place lets us live a healthy life, living in a dirty place and bad foods lead to numbers of health problems. In my opinion, other measures are required to improve public health along with the increase of sports facilities.

Sports facilities are very important for public health either directly or indirectly. If you exercise regularly, you will have less disease than others who do not exercise at all. Besides this, doctors always prescribe walking in the morning for controlling various diseases like diabetes. Moreover, sports facilities let the children grow up healthy and tall. Furthermore, to the fact, sporting activity keeps you away from getting addicted to alcohol or drugs. So, the importance of sports facilities cannot be ignored in any way.

On the other hand, other measures like reducing water contamination, environmental pollution, air and sound pollution etc. are important to improve public health. Doctors often emphasize the need for fresh air, which is essential for maintaining good health. Moreover, there are a number of deadly viruses transmitted via air and water. So, if we can reduce air and water pollution, it will help to improve public health certainly.

Finally, everybody needs to understand the reasons behind health deterioration. All specialist doctor related to public health emphasises the importance of pollution free environment, balanced diet as well as an increase of sports facilities. In my opinion, various measures need to be taken to improve public health by the appropriate authorities rather than concentrating on a particular issue like increasing sports facilities only.

Sample 8:

Certain people believe that to improve people's physical condition more gyms and similar infrastructural objects have to be built. Opponents state that these actions will not be productive, and other actions have to be made. In my opinion, although sports facilities are increasingly gaining popularity, they cannot noticeably affect the population's health.

Initially, it is obvious that gyms have always been a decent alternative to nightclubs or bars, considering that youngsters are often visitors there. The British Association of Doctors stated that 80% of jobs involve sitting in the office. As we know, our ancestors did a lot of physical works during their lives. Therefore, we ought to visit fitness centres to load ourselves with exercise; otherwise, you will be weak and maybe even ill. The main problem is the growing number of these facilities does not mean that more visitors will come.

Moreover, there are other important aspects of well-being. For example, a proper diet without red meat and sugar might be healthier than a morning jog. The government should pay more attention to advertising healthful organic groceries thereby reducing a consumption of food full of chemicals and pesticides. Secondly, the concept of fit lifestyle has to be introduced and become a compulsory part of school education. Lastly, to prevent addictions and improve public health prices on alcohol and tobacco products may be increased.

In conclusion, to improve public health objects such as swimming pools, stadiums and gyms are required. However other measures focused on healthy diet, advertising organic food or proper education will be more beneficial.

Sample 9:

Health is wealth. Without health, no one can lead a good life because good health is essential for people to work, to think, and even to lead a basic life. However, whether ‘physical activity is enough or not to lead a better social life’ is a debatable one. There are strong reasons behind both the views. However, I opt to the fact that sports activity is not enough for good health because a perfect man needs both physical and mental activity and other factors like proper diet, awareness among people, health care facilities and a healthy lifestyle also contribute towards a healthy life.

Firstly, from childhood, a person starts to do physical activity such as walking, running, playing but he does not know the importance of such actions or exercises. When he grows up, he knows the needs of exercise. This is his mental awareness. So, health will not be fulfilling with sports only as it needs mental power also. In current society, parents are least bothered by the physical health of their children and for themselves as well. Both parents in many cases are working and to make their life easier they rely on fast food and unhealthy foods. Not only that, most of the people are living in flats or apartments, so children are not getting enough space to play. Due to this, children are becoming more prone to obesity, and it leads to an unhealthy life and can make juvenile diabetics and other obesity-related illnesses. Nowadays there are varieties of sports or indoor activities like yoga, karate, or dance. These activities provide wellness to the mind and body. For example, in my place, we have camps or part-time classes for children and adults for yoga, swimming, karate and dance. These facilities should be made available for our convenience and less price.

If a person is physically fit with sports and not knowing about the importance of how to be healthy it will be worthless. For example, there are many sportspersons using alcohol or cigarettes. They are not thinking about their health because smoking and alcoholism can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle in future. Health awareness should be emphasised from childhood. So, at first, parents should be educated about this matter because nowadays parents want to make their children more intelligent in academic level. Community leaders such as teachers, doctors, and nurses should teach the public about the importance of physical and mental wellness. Public health means not only physical or mental well-being but rather it includes environmental wellbeing also. Proper disposal of waste, maintaining green life and deforestation are the main factors which help to maintain our environment safe.

To sum up, not only sports activities but also mental awareness is important to maintain good health because prevention is better than cure.

Sample 10:

Health is considered as the uttermost crucial element in people's lives and no country can ever dream to prosper if its citizens have a poor health condition. Every year the government spends billions of dollars to recuperate public health of the country. Some people think that government can actually save moolah by investing in building sports centres rather than squandering annually on medical supplies while others argue that it would make little difference.

Prevention is better than cure and it is indisputable that many diseases that people are suffering from these days are due to an unhygienic lifestyle that people are embracing these days. Lack of physical activity added to extreme work stress and junk foods are making people more and more vulnerable to diseases like blood pressure, diabetes and depression and its medications aren’t cheap either. It is evident that huge sums are reimbursed for treatment of these diseases. If the government opens sports centres and people take up a healthy habit of doing physical work out there, not only will it make them immune to these diseases, but they will also thrive both professionally and personally as a healthy body is superior to unhealthy one any day.

However, the mere concentration on sports centres to improve health conditions is not far from its fair share of controversy and critics either. Many disputes that it is only one aspect of possible many to the uplift health status of the country and snuggling it while completely overlooking others won't be of any use. For instance, people living in rural parts of our country do physical work all day and yet they do have poor health conditions. Lack of proper medical facilities, health awareness and malnutrition are leading to the untimely death of many by a simple disease like diarrhoea in places like Jajarkot and Ropla every year. Now the policy of setting up sports centres there while ignoring the real issues would not be anything more than a parody.

Sample 11:

People believe there exisits several ways to improve public health and well-being. They are grouped according to these measures that they support. Some of the people say that the increasing number of sports facilities results in more public health. Also, they assert that this way is the best. However, others claim that an increase in the number of sports facilities slightly affects the public health than other measures which are more important. In my opinion, not the latter but the former group's point of view is more realistic and worth believing.

To begin with the former, they choose the best way to increase healthiness level by increasing the number of sports facilities. Although sport is a good way to stay healthy, making a bulk of sports facility is not enough to encourage people to do sport. For example, there are lots of sports centres around the city charging on an annual basis and open until midnight, but there are not enough regular members. Most of the members started with full excitement to join each activity but could not afford to do what they promised. Actually, why this situation arises usually has many reasons, but the point is that only sports facilities are not enough to encourage people to participate in sports and maintain good health.

The latter opinion, which is more realistic, claims that more important other measures are required to improve public health rather than the sports facility. During our lifetime we changed our lifestyles a lot. Especially, people give different priorities to the ways which affect their health than before. These ways can be categorised mainly into three groups, such as eating habits, working styles and living area. First, people eat much more junk food than before, affecting their health in the worst way. Then, working conditions become harder than before which also change healthiness level to the negative sides. Finally, living areas are not clean enough to be healthy now. Thus, priority has to be given to those three ways to make them good for human health, but not to sports facilities.

To conclude, people may have different thoughts about how to increase public health. Some of them insist on increasing the number of sports facilities is the best way but others do not agree with them. Although sports is an important task for human health, solely it is not enough for improvement.

Sample 12:

A problem of modern societies is the declining level of health in the general population with conflicting views on how to tackle this worrying trend. One possible solution is to provide more sports facilities to encourage a more active lifestyle. 

Advocates of this believe that today’s sedentary lifestyle and stressful working conditions mean that physical activity is no longer part of either our work or our leisure time. If there were easy to-reach local sports centers, we would be more likely to make exercise a regular part of our lives, rather than just collapsing in front of a screen every evening. The variety of sports that could be offered would cater for all ages, levels of fitness and interests: those with painful memories of PE at school might be happier in the swimming pool than on the football pitch. 

However, there may be better ways of tackling this problem. Interest in sport is not universal and additional facilities might simply attract the already fit, not those who most need them. Physical activity could be encouraged relatively cheaply. For example, by installing exercise equipment in parks as my local council has done. This has the added benefit that parents and children often use them together just for fun, which develops a positive attitude to exercise at an early age.

As well as physical activity, high tax penalties could be imposed on high-fat food products, tobacco, and alcohol, as excessive consumption of any of these contributes to poor health. Even improving public transport would help: it takes longer to walk to the bus stop than to the car.

In my opinion, focusing on sports facilities is too narrow an approach and would not have the desired results. People should be encouraged not only to be more physically active but also to adopt a healthier lifestyle in general.  

Sample 13:

Public health issues have always been a long-term problem for many governments, and this has caused even more concerns these days with the ever- growing number of people suffering from modern diseases such as obesity or stress. While some people believe that the key to solving such a problem lies in the number of sports amenities at the public's disposal, I would side with those who are of the opinion that more measures are needed.

Investing in more sports facilities seems to be a feasible solution for some. This might be because the more equipment there are, the more convenient it is more for people to practice sports. As a result, the increasing amount of equipment can act as an incentive for people to exercise more regularly. However, the problem of public health is a complicated one that stems from a variety of factors such as poor diet and work-life imbalance, and the lack of exercise is just one of them. Therefore, buying more sports equipment alone might be too simplistic a solution.

Clearly, if the problem of public health is resolved, more measures will be required. First, the rapid development of the fast-food industry is to blame for the increasing number of people opting for this kind of food on a regular basis as an alternative to nutritious home-cooked meals, and thus, imposing a higher tax on such unhealthy food can curb the number of consumers and encourage people to switch to healthier options instead. Second, if people suffer from stress or other health conditions as a result of a lack of work-life balance, they should learn to prioritize their time more effectively. This means that they should seriously reflect on the way their time is spent and make a list of their top priorities at work and home, thereby optimizing their time to achieve their goals while still being able to balance their life. Seemingly, a change in lifestyle is essential in solving the problem.

In conclusion, addressing the issues of public health via increasing access to sports amenities alone is not enough. I believe that other methods should be introduced, and both the governments and individuals should join hands to make it happen.

Sample 14:

The improvement of public health is a crucial objective for societies worldwide, and various perspectives exist regarding the most effective approach. Some individuals argue that increasing the number of sports facilities is the optimal solution, while others contend that alternative measures would yield better results. This essay will discuss both viewpoints and present my opinion.

Proponents of expanding sports facilities assert that such an increase would directly contribute to enhanced public health. Access to a greater number of sports facilities would encourage participation in physical activities, thus combating sedentary lifestyles and reducing the prevalence of obesity and associated health issues. Moreover, these facilities often act as social centers, fostering community interaction and bolstering mental well-being.

Conversely, critics argue that merely augmenting the number of sports facilities is insufficient for improving public health on a larger scale. They maintain that a more comprehensive approach, encompassing public health campaigns and educational initiatives, is necessary to raise awareness and promote healthier habits. For instance, initiatives highlighting the significance of a balanced diet, regular exercise, and the detrimental effects of smoking can profoundly impact public health.

In my view, both approaches offer valuable contributions, and a combination thereof would yield the most favorable results in enhancing public health. While sports facilities can promote physical activity and social interaction, educational campaigns and public health initiatives are instrumental in raising awareness and fostering a society-wide understanding of the importance of healthy lifestyles.

In conclusion, although the expansion of sports facilities can be a positive factor in promoting better public health, it should not be regarded as the sole solution. A comprehensive strategy, incorporating both the development of sports facilities and the implementation of public health campaigns and educational programs, is more likely to achieve a substantial and lasting impact on public health. By adopting such a multifaceted approach, societies can work together to create a healthier and more active population, benefiting individuals and communities alike.

Sample 15:

The complex nature of public health has spurred ongoing debates on the most effective strategies for improvement. While some advocate for expanding sports facilities, others argue that such measures may offer limited impact. This essay explores both perspectives and delves into additional measures contributing to enhanced public health, followed by my own viewpoint.

Proponents assert that elevating public health hinges on promoting physical activity through sports. Accessible and well-maintained sports facilities inspire communities to embrace regular exercise, fostering a healthier lifestyle. Physical activity correlates with numerous health benefits, including weight management, cardiovascular health, and mental well-being. Additionally, these facilities serve as communal spaces that encourage social interaction, positively impacting mental health.

Conversely, skeptics argue that merely expanding sports facilities may not comprehensively address public health challenges. They highlight the pivotal roles played by factors such as lifestyle choices, dietary habits, and socio-economic conditions. Relying solely on sports-centric approaches may overlook individuals disinclined to participate in such activities, necessitating alternative strategies for health improvement.

Creating a holistic public health strategy involves considering factors beyond sports facilities. Crucial components include public health campaigns, education on healthy living, affordable healthcare access, and policies promoting nutritious diets. Addressing social determinants of health, such as income inequality and environmental factors, is equally vital for comprehensive health outcomes.

While expanding sports facilities shows promise in promoting physical activity and community well-being, it may not serve as a panacea for all public health challenges. A multifaceted approach, incorporating public health campaigns, education, and policies addressing various determinants, is imperative. Personally, I believe that integrating diverse, community-tailored strategies is key to fostering a healthier society, striving for sustained improvements in public health.

Sample 16:

It is often argued that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities whilst others feel that this would have little impact on public health and other measures are required. Increasing the number of sports facilities might be beneficial but in addition to that awareness about health and physical activity should be created amongst people through various campaigns.

The improvisation in sports facilities would affect public health in a good way. People would have easy access to better equipment, playing areas which is like to encourage them to indulge in sports regularly or whenever they have free time. It would burn off their calories, making them less prone to chronic diseases like hypertension or diabetes. For example, if good equipment and playing areas are made available in a residential complex, more people would come and play.

However, other measures like awareness campaigns must be organized to motivate people to indulge in sports activities. These campaigns would give people a better understanding of the importance of physical activity and how greatly it affects the human body. It would encourage them to either go for a walk or play their favorite sport whenever they have time. For example, In Singapore, such campaigns are run often which has motivated people to include any form of sports in their daily routine.

In conclusion, public health would not be improved by increasing the number of sports facilities alone but other method such as encouraging people and keeping them motivated to practice the same on a daily basis is also required.

Sample 17:

Over the last half-century, the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectation. This rapid change has made our life more stressful and increasingly complex. Consequently, it has had a negative impact on the public health with the appearance of many diseases among people. Although, there are some commentators who believe that the major portion of the health budget should be diverted into the treatment of these diseases. I`m strongly inclined to the view that prevention is more important through the construction of more sports facilities as well as encouraging people to practice sports.

Firstly, it's very understandable that sports play a fundamental role not only in preventing diseases such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure but also in the treatment of them. For example, a recent study conducted in London has shown that an increased number of people practicing sports regularly significantly decreased the incidence of obesity by about 25%. In addition, sports facilities are places of social activities which in turn improve the psychological condition of people thus protecting them from diseases related to stress such as depression and anxiety disorders. Lastly, improving the fitness of the individuals, particularly youngsters, will increase the productivity of society in addition to improving the public health. Undoubtedly, increasing numbers of leisure centers will positively influence the public health.

On the other hand, a strong argument can be made on the opposite side. Opponents state that building new hospitals is more important for the public health since it will reduce the long waiting lists of hospitals. For instance, recent statistics in Canada have demonstrated that the waiting lists of hospitals rose by about 50% during the last two years. Furthermore, a wide sector of the population does not have access to medications because they are not covered by insurance. Therefore, a major part of the health budget should be allocated to provide all people with medicine. Moreover, many people in our society are homeless, thus the government should provide them with suitable housing and so that this will prevent the spread of contagious diseases among them.

To sum up, certainly, it goes without saying that prevention is better than cure. Therefore, the pros of the increasing numbers of sports centres outweigh the cons. This can be achieved by longer-term health education and specific nationwide publicity campaigns.

Sample 18:

Public health, which often determines how happy and productive citizens in a country are, is a concern for people and administrations alike around the world. However, when it comes to measures of its improvements, opinions vary. I believe improved sports facilities have a correlation with better health for the general public, but other measures should be fed into the system.

To begin with, sports facilities and amusement amenities naturally encourage people to use those facilities and thus increase the hours they spend doing exercise or physical exertion. A park or a gymnasium full of people talks in favour of this argument. If the authority builds more health clubs, sports fields and parks, thousands more would start using those. Moreover, sports reduce the risk of obesity and heart diseases and increasing the number of sports centres in local communities can help community members lead an active life and thus prevent deadly diseases.

Nevertheless, sports centres alone cannot guarantee the sound health of the citizens. Public awareness about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle is required. On top of that, including health-related subjects in schools and participation of private organisations are required. Lessons students learn from schools have a great impact on the life they choose to lead. Besides, private organisations should arrange amenities for their employees to take part in sports activities within the office premises. Organisations like Google and Facebook, for instance, have already welcomed this practice and raised health awareness among their employees.

To conclude, I wholeheartedly welcome the idea of establishing more sports facilities for community members as these amenities are very useful for a healthy society. I also believe that other measures along with this initiative are required to build a healthy nation.

The topic of improving public health often leads to discussions about the role of sports facilities. While some argue that increasing the number of sports facilities is the key to enhancing public health, others maintain that it may have limited impact and advocate for alternative measures. In this essay, I will explore both perspectives. Personally, I believe that other measures are also required.

Proponents of the first view believe that increasing sports facilities can significantly contribute to better public health. They argue that providing accessible and well-equipped facilities encourages physical activity and promotes a more active lifestyle. For instance, it is undeniable that regular exercise has numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, weight management, and reduced risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. By creating more sports facilities, individuals are more likely to engage in physical activity, leading to enhanced overall health and well-being.

On the other hand, critics of this view contend that solely increasing sports facilities may not yield substantial improvements in public health. They argue that factors such as personal motivation, education, and access to healthcare services are equally crucial. Merely having sports facilities does not guarantee their utilisation by the population, as individuals may face barriers such as lack of time, financial constraints, or limited awareness of the benefits of exercise. Moreover, public health concerns extend beyond physical activity and require comprehensive measures that address nutrition, mental health, and environmental factors.

In my opinion, while the availability of sports facilities is undoubtedly important, it is not the sole solution to improving public health. A multifaceted approach is required, encompassing various strategies. This includes promoting physical activity through sports facilities but also focusing on education, awareness campaigns, and policies that support healthy lifestyles. Additionally, ensuring access to affordable healthcare services, addressing social determinants of health, and implementing measures to improve nutrition and mental well-being are crucial components of a comprehensive public health strategy.

In conclusion, it is expected that by adopting a comprehensive strategy that includes adequate sports facilities in the community, affordable healthcare service, improved nutrition and food safety, and finally access to psychological support, societies can make significant strides in improving public health and well-being.

Sample 20:

Participating in sports regularly is beneficial for our health but whether more sports centres mean a healthier nation is controversial. I believe a few more measures along with increasing public sports facilities are required to ensure good health for general people.

Not everyone can afford gymnasium fees, nor have the time to travel to a park located in a distant part of the city. A busy and competitive lifestyle is the primary reason many people do not adopt exercise into their daily routine. However, a great percentage of them feel the need to exercise and have a desire to get involved in outdoor activities. If the government establishes more sports and recreational centres, their participation would be ensured. Sports are always engaging and probably easier to get involved in than doing exercises in a gymnasium. This initiative would encourage more youths to take up sports rather than playing video games at home.

However, establishing more sports centres and maintaining all of them are expensive and it does not guarantee the participation of all community members. A government can rather educate people through campaigns which would include the necessity of an active lifestyle and the importance of a balanced diet – another important factor for a healthy life. Besides, poverty in many Third World countries is deep and parents would not take their children to sports centres when they are starving. These parents need a way to feed their children, and the government should first ensure proper nutrition for all citizens and then invest in recreational activities.

To conclude, more sports centres are beneficial for people looking for a way to lead an active life, but this alone cannot enhance public health. Proper food supply for the poor and a balanced diet for all should be maintained before taking expensive initiatives.

Sample 21:

In any society, public health has always been one of the most complex challenges. And over the past few years, governments in various nations have made a lot of efforts to promote public health. However, some think that expanding sports facilities around the nation could have a significant impact on this issue. Others believe that there are other approaches that would be more valued in achieving a healthy society. Thus, this essay has attempted to address both of the above points of view before giving one of the most effective ways to raise health indices.

Sports facilities can make it possible for anyone to exercise anywhere, which unquestionably affects various aspects of a society's public health. To put it another way, folks may now readily discover gyms close to their homes. Additionally, people are not required to spend money or time travelling to particular locations to exercise. As opposed to previous years, folks should make time for the aforementioned purpose. Moreover, individuals frequently avoid exercising because they find it challenging due to the lack of sporting facilities.

However, adding sports facilities to every neighbourhood or street may have a small impact on public health. People cannot be encouraged to workout alone by this. Therefore, in addition to extending resources, public knowledge of the benefits of exercise might be taken into consideration. For instance, media outlets need to care more about public health. And air some appropriate programmes to demonstrate the value of exercise for both physical and mental wellbeing. Additionally, a number of events at colleges and universities have to be held to encourage people to see gyms by outlining their advantages.

To summarise, I believe that if people exercise regularly, they won't have to worry about suffering major illnesses as they age. They'd be enthusiastic about using athletic facilities. However, sufficient sports facilities should be built in all areas of towns and cities.

The government has a stake in the psychological and physical health of its people. Government spending on enhancing sports facilities has expanded recently in an effort to motivate citizens to maintain their health. However, it can be claimed that simply having sporting facilities won't be enough to inspire individuals to maintain their fitness. Additional incentives are needed. This essay examines the advantages of government initiatives to advance public health. And it will also offer suggestions for additional approaches that could be used to enhance them.

First, participating in sports has positive effects on the physical and mental health of the body. Regular practice of sports like badminton and basketball raises heart rate and burns fat that has been stored in the body. It can improve people's health. Additionally, playing games can help with concentration and reduce stress in the office. Sports-related activities assist individuals in living healthy lifestyles.

The government's main task is to raise people's consciousness of their health and pique their enthusiasm for participating in sports-related activities. The public may not be very interested in using sports facilities that have been built in various locations around cities. To encourage the use of the sporting facilities and raise public awareness of their advantages, awareness programmes must be developed. Campaigns to raise awareness of it and special incentives for good attendance are two ways to do it.

In summary, the government should work to create a healthy society by building sports facilities and encouraging people to use them. I firmly believe that if governments take the above-mentioned necessary steps, a healthy society will be formed. However, it is important that as residents, we work together and support the efforts of our local authorities to improve public health.

People think there are numerous ways to enhance overall public health and wellbeing. They are organised into groups based on the policies they support. Some claim that an increase in sports facilities leads to better public health. Additionally, they claim that this method is the greatest. Others contend, however, that the expansion of sports facilities has a less significant impact on public health than other, more crucial factors. My viewpoint is that the former group's point of view is more reasonable and deserving of belief, not the latter.

Starting with the former, they decided that expanding the number of sports facilities is the greatest way to raise the level of health. Making a lot of sports facilities is not enough to inspire people to participate in sport, even though it is an excellent way to keep fit. For instance, there are many sporting facilities throughout the city that charge an annual fee and are available until midnight. But not enough regular members. Most of the members began each activity with great excitement, but they were unable to follow through on their promises because of financial constraints. Actually, there are a variety of reasons why this situation occurs. But the key one is that having just sports facilities is insufficient to inspire people to exercise and keep up their health.

The latter, more pragmatic viewpoint maintains that other, more crucial measures, not just the sports facility, are needed to improve public health. In our lifetimes, we have made significant lifestyle changes. In particular, people now prioritise their health differently than they did in the past. These practices can primarily be divided into three categories, including dietary routines, work preferences, and living arrangements. First, people consume considerably more junk food than they did in the past, which is detrimental to their health. Then, working circumstances deteriorate further, affecting healthiness levels negatively. Last but not least, living conditions nowadays are not clean enough to be safe. As a result, sports facilities must come last when it comes to prioritising those three measures that will improve human health.

In conclusion, various individuals may have diverse ideas on how to improve public health. Some of them insist that building more sports facilities is the greatest solution, but others disagree. Even if engaging in sports is good for your health, it won't help much on its own.

There is ongoing debate about whether increasing the number of sports facilities is the most effective way to improve public health. While some argue that more sports facilities would lead to a healthier population, others contend that this approach alone would have limited impact and call for alternative measures. In my view, while increasing access to sports facilities can contribute to public health, it should be accompanied by other initiatives to maximize its effectiveness.

Proponents of enhancing public health through the expansion of sports facilities argue that they provide opportunities for physical activities and encourage people to engage in regular exercise. These advocates believe that by creating more venues for sports and recreational activities, individuals of all ages will be motivated to lead active lifestyles. Sports facilities, such as gyms, swimming pools, parks, and stadiums, can offer a wide range of options for people to choose from, catering to various fitness preferences, abilities, and interests. Giving people access to such facilities could potentially combat sedentary behaviors and reduce the prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases like obesity, cardiovascular issues, and diabetes.

On the other hand, opponents argue that merely increasing sports facilities will not significantly improve public health outcomes. They contend that several factors contribute to poor public health, including socioeconomic status, education, and access to healthcare, which cannot be addressed solely through sports facilities. It is crucial to acknowledge that barriers like affordability, location, and time constraints prevent a significant portion of the population from utilizing these facilities. For individuals who cannot afford memberships or live in areas lacking accessible facilities, increasing the number of such venues may have limited impact.

To achieve a comprehensive improvement in public health, I believe that increasing sports facilities should be combined with a holistic approach encompassing education, awareness campaigns, and community engagement. Educational programs promoting the importance of physical activity, healthy eating habits, and disease prevention can empower individuals to make informed choices about their well-being. Additionally, awareness campaigns could be targeted towards disadvantaged communities, addressing both financial and geographical barriers to accessing sports facilities. Collaborations with local organizations and schools can further encourage participation through community events and sports programs, thereby fostering a sense of inclusivity and providing alternatives for those unable or unwilling to visit formal sports facilities.

In conclusion, while increasing the number of sports facilities can contribute to improving public health by encouraging physical activity, it is not a standalone solution. Combining this approach with education, awareness campaigns, and community engagement is essential for maximizing its impact. By embracing a multidimensional strategy, societies can work towards creating a healthier and more active population.

There is much debate over the issue of how to help improve public health, and some people have suggested that there should be more sports facilities available. Others, however, say that this would have a minimal impact on the situation. This essay will look at both views and argue that it would indeed only have a small positive impact.

Those who support building more public sports facilities believe that they will encourage more people to participate in regular exercise. This is logical, but there are already many public sports facilities available, and it has had little impact. The only people who would likely benefit are children, and while this is important, children already have plenty of places to get exercise. Whilst millions of pounds could be spent on building new facilities, it seems that there is little that would really be contributed to helping solve this crisis.

Even if there was an uptick in the number of people doing exercise, it would not eliminate the public health crisis as exercise is only one small part of it. While it is true that exercise is good for the human body, it is nearly impossible to burn off the number of calories that the average person is now consuming. Even if a person were to run a marathon, it would not negate the damaging effects of going to McDonald’s for lunch. That person would still end the day in a calorie surplus and therefore continue to gain weight. When you consider that few people can run marathons, it becomes obvious that the culprit for poor public health is not exercise but rather diet.

In conclusion, it would be good to have more public sports facilities and there may be some small benefit to this, but unfortunately it would not be a significant benefit, and other measures would need to be taken too.

At present, public health is declining as an increasing number of people in countries around the world are suffering from diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. While taking exercise goes some way to dealing with these issues, it is not the only, nor even the most important method for solving such problems, and the facilities provided for exercise do little to tackle poor public health.

With a view to tackling obesity-related illness, many governments have spent vast sums of money on sports facilities and China highlights this point. Residential districts are full of exercise equipment, there are a large number of gymnasiums available and many new public swimming pools have been constructed. In theory, these measures would encourage people to exercise more and thus improve overall public health. However, in practice, people do not use these facilities due to a range of alternative, low energy entertainment options such as playing video games or watching television and, as a result, the majority of people do very little exercise which means such investment wastes public funds.

In light of these arguments, alternatives are required to deal with public health, and education is the most important solution. Many people lead unhealthy lifestyles because they are not well-informed about the health risks that they are taking, such as consuming high levels of cholesterol from food. If more time is spent teaching people from an early age about the importance of a healthy diet, they will grow up to be careful about the sorts of food that they consume. High energy diets are a major factor in obesity and solving the issue of food intake is half the battle. Furthermore, education could change social values about sports and teach people that regular physical exercise is essential, thus improving the effectiveness of existing public sports facilities.

In conclusion, building more sports facilities would do little to alleviate current problems with people’s health because social values are not focused on the links between exercise and health, and it does nothing to solve dietary imbalance. By changing the education system, it would be possible to change eating and exercise habits amongst the younger generations, thus this is the best way to improve public health.

Public health has become a major concern for various groups, governments and related organizations. While some people favor projects such as increasing opportunities for people to exercise through providing public facilities such as sports centers, other people and interested parties believe that there are alternative and more effective measures that could be taken to increase the general health level of the public.

It is one thing to build a sports center; it is quite another thing to get people to use it. At the heart of the argument lies motivation. Based on human behavior, we can see that health is very much a personal choice. People choose to lead a healthy lifestyle or not. Many people do regular exercise, with or without public facilities being available, simply walking every day or jogging in the local park. It is simply their personal choice to do these activities. Other people choose to do little or no exercise, even though their village, town or city may have many superb facilities available to them. That is also their personal choice.

Many organizations have suggested that education is the key to improving health, as education seems to be the answer for everything. However, we have already seen this fail in several high-profile areas such as drinking, smoking and fast food.

Many research groups and others who support a healthy lifestyle have spent years trying to educate the public through various campaigns, pointing out the negative side effects of these bad habits and showing the way to healthier options. The results have been far less than impressive.

In the UK alone, there are more young people smoking now than in the past, in spite of all the health campaigns warning of the risks. Excessive alcohol consumption is still a social problem, and governments are now complaining that obesity related health conditions are putting a strain on public health services, which can be traced back to the rise in popularity of fast food and convenience food in popular culture.

From this we can see that simply providing facilities or trying to inform people through campaigns and advertising is not the most effective way to change public behavior, if that is the desired result.

In many countries, public health is declining. While adding more sports facilities might improve sports participation, I believe that this alone would not make much difference to people's health and that it is also necessary to make fast food more expensive.

Some think that building more sports facilities can lead to an increase in sports participation. Many people do not exercise regularly because there is nowhere in their neighborhood where they can participate in activities they enjoy. If, for example, more basketball courts were built in a neighborhood, basketball lovers who live there would play the sport more often. However, I and others think this would have little impact on people's health if they don't change their unhealthy diet.

We think it is also important to increase the price of fast food. Many people over-consume it because it is cheap. For example, in the United States, a twenty-piece box of Chicken McNuggets costs only 5 dollars. If a 20 percent tax was implemented on fast food, many consumers probably wouldn't order some at all, let alone overeat. Since over-consumption of fast food is a major culprit in causing obesity, a regulation like this could be extremely effective in terms of preventing health problems associated with being overweight, such as heart disease and diabetes.

In conclusion, even though increasing the number of sports facilities might encourage people to exercise more often, I think this alone does little to improve health. To achieve a better result, fast food should also be sold at a higher price.

Some people propose that the ultimate method of making the general public healthier is to build more places where they play sports, while others believe this initiative is futile and other policies are warranted. In this answer, I will discuss the rationales behind these two views before showing why I favor the latter.

On the one hand, increasing the availability of sports amenities could somewhat help improve public health. A crucial part of staying healthy is staying physically active and making it easier for people to play sports is a good measure to this end. Furthermore, the greater presence of basketball courts, callisthenics parks or other such amenities and, more importantly, the sight of people using them could inspire sedentary onlookers to exercise more.

However, I side with those who say that the aforementioned approach would bring. about little results if any. This is because increasing the number of sports facilities does not automatically translate to greater participation. In most cities today, despite the ubiquity of places where people can play sports for free, the majority of the population remains sorely inactive, and health problems related to lack of exercise are on the rise.

To meaningfully improve the health of the public, it must be acknowledged that fitness is only part of the equation. A whole host of factors, including affordable access to healthcare, advancement of medical treatment, enforcement of food safety and so on, all influence how healthy the population is and must be acted on. The recent outbreak of the novel Coronavirus is a powerful testament to this and how immaterial fitness is in the grand scheme of things.

In conclusion, having more places where people can participate in sporting activities is always welcome, but it is not by any stretch the optimal way to improve public health. Instead, a combination of steps is needed to holistically enhance people's health and prevent diseases.

The construction of new sports facilities is definitely needed in an environment where people’s health is in a declining state. However, there are those who believe that the way to improving people’s health should lie in other measures that governments have to come up with to get people to live more healthily. This essay shall discuss both views followed by my opinion.

In many countries around the world, sports facilities are being neglected, with existing ones under threat of closure and being replaced by housing and commercial developments. The lack of sports facilities has directly led to a sharp decline in the general public’s involvement in sports activities. This is the major reason for ill health and excessive weight nowadays. If a wider range of sports and fitness facilities (swimming pools, basketball courts and gymnasiums etc.) were available, then people would be more willing to spend time in these facilities to train their bodies and to improve their fitness, instead of living a sedentary life at home watching television, playing video games or using computers.

However, the building of such facilities may become a waste of time and taxpayers’ money if they are built far away from where people live or if they are too expensive to use. There are scenes of empty sports grounds in many cities because it takes too much trouble to get there, and many sports clubs are receiving fewer guests because they charge unreasonably high membership fees. In these cases, the government should be spending more on advertising a healthier lifestyle instead of just wasting money on facilities that are not going to be actively used by the people. For example, people need to know that little things like jogging or taking the stairs provide as many benefits as using exercising equipment in a sports club.

As good health is a basic human need and healthy individuals lead to a healthy nation, I believe that government should do both – increase the number of sports facilities as well as take other measures to improve people’s health such as awareness campaigns through various media. The sports facilities should be easily affordable and accessible by the people.

All in all, the government should be spending more money on the campaigns of getting the people to be more involved in a healthier lifestyle and also spending some money on sports facilities that are affordable and within reach of the general public.

Reformation in public healthcare facilities has been a contentious issue for quite a long time. While some people propose that incorporating several sports facilities can work like a charm for the public health sector, others opine that health concerns many other factors that need equal precedence. In my opinion, the latter perception is more viable, and I shall elaborate on the same in the following paragraphs.

It is a well-known fact that regular exercise and active involvement in sports keep an individual healthy in mind and body. As a result, many initiatives have been taken to augment the construction of yoga centers, gyms, public swimming pools, etc. Furthermore, they have been established for the public so that they can afford to engage themselves in such invigorating activities, which in turn will create a robust population.

However, like a section of people, I believe that a sole focus on sports facilities will not have a consequential impact on public health. It is because a substantial number of the global population does not have access to food, safe drinking water and sanitation, which constitute the necessities of every human. As there is a shortage of the bare minimum requirements, health is adversely affected by malnutrition and ailments like marasmus, scurvy, xerophthalmia, to name a few. Moreover, there is a dearth of public awareness of a number of diseases or health conditions, some of which are fatal to life. Consequently, many people fall prey to them. For example, it took more than three decades to eradicate polio in most countries due to a lack of awareness and healthcare benefits. Likewise, in recent years, socio-economic issues like unemployment, inflation, etc., have created psychological pressure on every individual, resulting in mental disorders.

In conclusion, I would like to say that even though the government is taking steps to encourage people to improve public health, it is of utmost importance that instead of just investing in building sports facilities, we should be involved in bringing in a wholesome change in the public health sector by creating consciousness, increasing the availability of fundamental needs and supporting each other.

There is debate about whether building more sports facilities is the most effective strategy to enhance public health. This article will look at both points of view and offer my personal viewpoint.

Supporters contend that expanding the availability of sports facilities can improve the general public's health. They think that making sports facilities easily accessible and well-equipped promotes physical activity and aids in the fight against sedentary lifestyles, which are major causes of numerous health problems including obesity and cardiovascular illnesses. Sports facilities also enhance community involvement and social contact, which promotes overall wellbeing.

However, some contend that concentrating only on sports facilities might not be enough to boost public health. They stress the significance of using a complete approach that addresses socioeconomic variables that affect health outcomes, promotes health education, and ensures access to affordable healthcare. They contend that spending money on preventative measures might have a bigger influence on public health than reactive ones, such as campaigns for health promotion and better healthcare.

In my view, expanding sports facilities should be a part of a larger public health initiative even though it can contribute to encouraging physical activity and community well-being. Numerous variables, such as socioeconomic status, educational attainment, and access to healthcare, are important health determinants that must be addressed. A more thorough and long-lasting effect on public health may be achieved by adopting a holistic strategy that integrates the provision of sports facilities with health education campaigns, preventative healthcare services, and programmes to address health inequities.

In addition, it is critical to guarantee that all facets of society, regardless of age, gender, ability, or socioeconomic level, have access to sporting facilities. The removal of participation obstacles and the creation of inclusive settings that accommodate various needs and preferences should be prioritised.

Increasing the number of sports facilities can help the people's health, but this can only be done as a part of a larger public health plan that tackles all of the factors that affect health. We can build healthier communities by integrating investments in sports facilities with initiatives to minimise health inequities, health education, and preventative healthcare.
