Made in partnership with the Always #LikeAGirl campaign.
The victory of the underdog. The last minute penalty shot that wins the tournament. The training montage. Many people love to glorify victory on the field, cheer for teams, and play sports. But should we be obsessed with sports? Are sports as good for us as we make them out to be, or are they just a fun and entertaining pastime? Leah Lagos and Jaspal Ricky Singh show what science has to say on the matter.

It's a good thing I play e-sports :D
lmaooo
haha well said

@Fermentum Mobile it was a joke...?
Oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet HI FIVE BRO
I suffered a depression for years after two broken relationships. Then I decided to buy a road bike and just start cycling to free my mind and get away from my computer. I actually sold my graphics card so I could afford it.
Now I can't stop, it's just ridiculously satisfying and takes you to new heights over and over again.
Dionyzos can I have ur computer
Static 3200 dpi HAHAHA
Wow. This is good for you!

What about over exercise? Athletes have a lower life expectancy. Come on... tackle both sides of this.
That's a really far extreme. This video is meant to push people to take the first steps to a healthier life. Although the that is a possibility, they aim to put forth a healthy mindset to engaging in sports.
Not only over-excercise but also bad excercise, like sit ups that are known to put stress on the spine.
+wojtekimbier so is playing video games for 10 hours...
that's doping and overdoing shit. We're talking amateur tier
Depends on the sport and how likely overtraining is to happen. Enhancing substances are also a factor.
The point of the video is to promote a healthier lifestyle through sports as recreation, and the evidence is undeniable.
This made me feel like a useless sloth ._.
I really need to find a sport
Go for t!
Try different sports and find one you like!
There are plenty of sports! Just gotta find one you like.
You should try fencing. We lose about 800 calories per hour and it's an incredibly psychological sport
if u think your legs are stronger than ur arms , go soccer!
While watching this I was eating KFC :)
Tortillas with mayonnaise 😵😵😵😵
Sheesh okai
KFC yummy

Hi
But Bob just commented...
So Messi benefitted from his penalty miss?
up you go!
I knew there was gonna be a comment like this! Lol
Too soon?
LOL

When they said, "that last minute penalty shot that wins the tournament" I smiled. My soccer team just won our tournament two days ago and I was the one who scared the winning penalty. :)
Late but congrats
Wow! Too late to say Congrats, but you must have grown up a lot now since 5 years have passed.
I love football ⚽️ too, too late but congrats 👏 ❤
Even later but congrats
I just missed a last minute chance to send our team into the provincials final. And a game before, we were 2 minutes away from securing a spot to get to the finals when we got scored. But the memories and experience and all the hard work we put together is just amazing. We will come back stronger next year!
It took me years to realise that exercise is so much more than just sports. Walking, cycling and swimming (in a non-competitive environment) for example are not necessarily considered sports, but they are definitely exercise and are a great way to work on your health even when you hate sports!
Well cycling and swimming are sports
@@jagason7494 it says "non-competitive" basically no fighting and just comfort all the way
Icshsvucjvcu😂🎉
😊
What if i don't like sports?
...or people?
Thank you, another sensible person.
Try simple workouts indoors
u got to like em man !! come on , it is your biggest mistake , do not continue with this
maybe sport. I never go to gym alone..
Then to quote JB " Go love yourself"
As someone who has been a part of dozens of sports teams since the age of 5, I can say that I completely agree with the idea that playing sports is not only good exercise for the body, but it is also good for the mind. I am a college student and a college athlete. I am a member of a 55 person swim team. I work out, both in the pool and on land, at least four hours a day. I am not only getting a significant quantity of exercise important for preventing things like diabetes and heart disease, but also I am getting additional benefits as well. My teammates keep me motivated and make me feel like I am a part of something bigger. The sport helps me stay organized and team practices change my mood significantly for the better. Playing a sport is important for not only your physical health, but also your mental strength. It is good for both the body and the brain.
Exactly I am Sibi A R agree with you
Um I had to do work about this comment in class so that’s embarrassing 😳
Last time I was this early
Britain was still in the EU
Just stop it with this shit.
Britain is still in the EU for 2 years
♻
last time that was funny
britain was still apart of the allies
rekt
Video starts at 0:00
Thanks man i kept looking for the start but i could not find it
No shit, Sherlock
You're welcome ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lmao
Could you mention where it ends? I lost the end aswell.
To play some of those sports you need money and time. My parents lacked the first one and I lacked the latter when I left tennis after one year. Loved it, it was the only activity that I liked after my mom put me through a whole range of other things troughout the years, non of which I liked: piano, dance, aerobics... Tennis was the only thing I liked and had to leave it. Now the only thing I can afford is going running.
I just walk.
Seems like only girls do sport. That's good for me, so I can get fat and die early.
Only girls play sports? What?
+ninja2566 I think he means in the video? haha
That is probably because the video is sponsored by Always, which has a campaign that encourages girls to play sports.
***** nah, that's just a girl with short hair ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I also find it messed up how they just kept moving after she fell in the water- lol
One important thing is that people who are bad at some of the sports get criticized everytime by sportspersons or their friends but actually they should encourage, support , understand the people who are weak in sports
Being on a sports team is like a second family there, always supporting you though tough times. One of the best things you can do while in school.
Wow!, wtf where the rowers doing on 3:06 ?!!. Rowing forward? Haha
lols I know right? Animators need to get out more. :p
f you
Its was clearly made to be viewed backwards XD Wait don't take that seriously.. I know some people will.
@Achima Maasai frick AHAHAHA :P
@@chupachuks uh
Exercise has been an integral part of my life since I was 13 years old. I'm now 49 and I can still maintain the same physical health and wellbeing that I had as a teenager. I believe that exercise is the key to achieving whatever goals you set for yourself in life.
OKAY NOT THE VIDEO BUT THE COMMENTS HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH NOW I'M GOING TO BE IN SPORTS THANKS YALL FOR THE GOOD COMMENTS IT'S WHAT I NEEDED..
I am too lazy to do sports
Nobody loves you
shut up fatboy
+Unusual Mind I am actually 55 kg. I don't know what you fat americans use but it's equal to 121 pounds I guess?
I do running. I was never really into sports but I really enjoy running. Guess I just hate people. 😂

How Playing Sports Benefits Your Body (Transcrição)
1 - The victory of the
underdog over the favorite team, the last minute penalty shot that wins
the tournament, the high-energy training montages.
2 - Many people love to
glorify victory on the playing field, cheer for favorite teams and play
sports, but here’s a question - Should we be so obsessed with sports?
Is playing sports actually as good for us as we make it out to be? Or
just a fun and entertaining pastime? What does science have to say?
3 - First of all, it’s
well accepted that exercise is good for our bodies and minds and that’s
definitely true. Exercising, especially when we’re young, has all sorts
of health benefits. Like strengthening our bones, clearing out bad
cholesterol from our arteries and decreasing the risk of stroke, high
blood pressure and diabetes.
4 - Our brains also
release a number of chemicals when we work out - including endorphins.
These natural hormones which control pain and pleasure responses in the
central nervous system can lead to feelings of euphoria or what’s often
called a ‘runners high’.
5 - Increased
endorphins and consistent physical activity in general can sharpen your
focus and improve your mood and memory. So does that mean we get just as
much benefit going to the gym five days a week as we would joining a
team and competing? Well, here’s where it gets interesting.
6 - Because it turns
out that if you can find a sport and a team you like, studies show that
there are all sorts of benefits that go beyond the physical and mental
benefits of exercise alone. Some of the most significant are psychology
benefits, both in the short and long term.
7 - Some of those come
from the communal experience of being on a team. For instance, learning
to trust and depend on others, to accept help, to give help and to work
together towards a common goal. In addition, commitment to a team and
doing something fun can also make it easier to establish a regular habit
of exercise.
8 - School sport
participation has also been shown to reduce the risk of suffering from
depression for up to four years. Meanwhile, your self-esteem and
confidence can get a big boost. There are a few reasons for that.
9 - One is found in
training. Just by working and working at skills, especially with a good
coach, you reinforce a growth mindset within yourself. That’s when you
say ‘Even if I can’t do something today, I can improve myself through
practice and achieve it eventually’. That mindset is useful in all walks
of life.
10 - And then there’s
learning through failure, one of the most transformative, long-term
benefits of playing sports. The experience of coming to terms with
defeat can build the resilience and self-awareness necessary to manage
academic, social and physical hurdles. So even if your team isn’t
winning all the time, or at all, there is a real benefit to your
experience.
11 - Now, not everyone
will enjoy every sport. Perhaps one team is too competitive or not
competitive enough. It can also take time to find a sport that will play
to your strengths - That’s completely okay. But if you spend some time
looking, you’ll be able to find a sport that fits your individual needs.
12 - And if you do,
there are so many benefits. You’ll be a part of a supportive community.
You’ll be building your confidence. You’ll be exercising your body and
nurturing your mind. Not to mention, having fun.
Como Praticar Esportes Beneficia o Seu Corpo (Tradução)
1 - A vitória do
azarão sobre o time favorito, o cobrança de pênalti no último minuto que
vence o campeonato, os vídeos eletrizantes com montagens/cenas dos
treinos.
2 - Muitas pessoas
adoram glorificar a vitória no campo de jogo, torcer pelas equipes
favoritas e praticar esportes. Mas aqui vai uma pergunta: Deveríamos ser
tão obcecados por esportes? Praticar esportes é de fato tão bom para
nós quando pensamos, ou é apenas um passatempo divertido e recreativo? O que a ciência tem a dizer?
3 - Em primeiro lugar, é muito bem aceito que o exercício é bom para nossos corpos e mentes,
e isso é definitivamente verdade. Exercitar-se, especialmente quando
você é jovem, traz vários benefícios para a saúde, como o fortalecimento
dos ossos, eliminação do colesterol ruim das nossas artérias e
diminuição do risco de derrame, pressão alta e diabetes.
4 - Nossos
cérebros também liberam certa quantidade de substâncias quando nos
exercitamos, incluindo endorfinas. Esses hormônios naturais, que
controlam respostas à dor e ao prazer no sistema nervoso central, podem
levar a sentimentos de euforia ou ao que é frequentemente chamado de
“barato do corredor”.
5 - O
aumento da endorfina e a constante atividade física, em geral, pode
aguçar seu foco e melhorar seu humor e memória. Então, isso significa
que ir à academia cinco dias por semana é tão eficiente quanto entrar em
uma equipe e competir? Bem, é aqui que as coisas ficam interessantes.
6 - Porque
acabe que se você puder encontrar um esporte e uma equipe que você
goste, estudos mostram que há muitos benefícios que vão além dos
benefícios físicos e mentais por si só. Alguns dos mais significantes
são os benefícios psicológicos, tanto em curto como longo prazo.
7 - Alguns
deles vêm da experiência compartilhada de se estar em uma equipe. Por
exemplo, aprender a confiar e a depender dos outros, aceitar ajuda,
oferecer ajuda e trabalhar em conjunto visando um objetivo comum. Além
disso, ter compromisso com uma equipe, fazendo algo divertido, pode
também tornar fácil estabelecer um hábito regular de exercício.
8 - A
participação em jogos escolares também tem mostrado ser eficiente na
redução do risco de sofrer depressão por até quatro anos. Além do mais,
sua autoestima e confiança podem dar um grande salto. Há alguns motivos
para isso.
9 - Um
está em treinar. Só pelo fato de desenvolver suas habilidades,
especialmente com um bom treinador, você reforça uma mentalidade de
crescimento dentro de si mesmo. É quando você diz: “Mesmo que eu não
consiga fazer algo hoje, eu posso ficar melhor através da prática e,
finalmente, atingir meu objetivo”. Essa mentalidade é útil para todos os
estilos de vida.
10 - E
então há o aprendizado através do fracasso, um dos benefícios mais
transformadores e duradouros na prática de esportes. A experiência da
conviver com a derrota pode construir a resiliência e a autoconsciência
necessárias para lidar com obstáculos acadêmicos, sociais e físicos.
Então, mesmo que sua equipe não esteja ganhando o tempo todo, ou esteja
perdendo, existe um benefício real através da experiência.
11 - No
entanto, nem todo mundo vai gostar de todos os esportes. Talvez uma
equipe seja muito competitiva ou não competitiva o suficiente. Também
pode levar tempo para encontrar um esporte que irá se aplicar aos seus
pontos fortes. É perfeitamente normal. Mas se você passar um tempo
procurando, será capaz de encontrar um esporte que atenda suas
necessidades individuais.
12 - E, se você encontrar, há muitos benefícios. Você será parte de uma comunidade solidária. Você estará melhorando sua confiança. Você estará exercitando seu corpo e alimentado sua mente, sem mencionar o divertimento.
thanks
I am very proud of this TED-Ed we created. I hope it was informative and thank you for the positive comments.
Good job, this comment deserves more likes.
List of benefits for easily doing a writing lesson
1. Good for our body and mind
- Strengthen our bones
- Clearing out bad cholesterol
- Decreasing the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
- Our brains release a number of chemicals such as endorphins. These natural hormones can control pain.
- Sharpen our focus, improve our mood and memory
I did swim in high school because I like that it is more individualistic and the only person I am letting down or impressing is myself. Just beating my own previous time. I still made great friends! Would definitely recommend!
Oh... Well that's nice knowing... **sits back in chair**
And I get embarrassed whenever I'm in a group sport thing and I miss a goal or the basket or finish in last place
Happens to all of us!
This one's for all the super nerdy Asians out there whose parents won't let them play in any sports because they think it's a waste of time.
Sports in school or college does not always help to get rid of depression. It can be the reason of it too. If you are not good in running or something else, but you want to get good mark and be on the same level with everyone, it can make you really sad. As for me, I love passive excercises, but I'm really bad runner. And I cannot stand sun and active training because of my health. It is better for me to train at special clubs, that I choose myself and do it for myself, than do excercises at college that are not suitable for me and make me sad.
Do sports for yourself, not for marks. Just try to improve your own results.
toughen up and go work out unless u wanna die at 56
Someone to be my friend and help me to boost my Study in English 😶
i hate sports, tbh.
I think it's super important to practice sports or exercise and even go to the gym, even more so when you're young because we have more energy and it brings health benefits and I also know that when I get older I won't suffer from pain or weak bones!

Oh.... I played many sports. Yet my memories and mental strength doesn’t improve T_T
Very good video 👏
Last time I was this early...Watchmojo didn't post a video (or five) yet
lol,finally someone is original
Watchmojo sucks
This content is superior. I found a book with related themes to be equally pivotal. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
The rowing boat is supposed to have the rowers facing opposite direction of the boat. Jus' sayin'
I suffered from obsessions and after doing exercise training for 2 to 3 in a half months my mental health improved. I train to renew my entire body and live a long life. I don't need to rely on a gym group because gym people always give me funny looks. I Jog outside in the open with nature and breath in good air. i hate gyms for that very reason. I proven them wrong!
I would like a video explaining how diseases are inherited and how my mom and sisters can have the same illness and I am with out it.

I should really start exercising... is what I have said for the past 3 years.

i needed this for school,and the vid actually helped me and was kind of cool.
I suck at sports 😢
Everyone else does too, it's all practice
me too
I've never had that problem...
I always get an 8 in physical education, my worse grade.
me too and my parents never got me into sports when i was little. At least when you're little, it is acceptable and even look cute when you fall. As an adult i feel stupid for even trying. I just look retarded.
i'am an animator
After a few more shots of missing you get looked down on by everyone and decided to quit sports cause you lack the talent...
Exercising is much better for me.
you guys need to get better animators, the characters look like they're made of pool noodles
How come a lot of good sportsmen i know arent the most intelligent?
As a kid do you choose reading or running? you perfer one and do it alot more than the other.
Because there is no filter for non-intelligent people. Not everyone can become a surgeon or a researcher. But all you need to become a sportsmen is to have basic animal abilities, like running, and.. uhm, understanding that a ball is a ball.

This video made me nostalgic and pissed at my younger self
I used to do a lot of sports
Now I do none, stuck on PC a lot of the time for Covid, and am on the brink of collapse in the HSC course
That depressed and pessimistic mindset has really shown
Now I want to change it, and I’m starting with a small walk each day
this is powerful I actually cried when I saw the beauty of quantum physics
Ah yes that moment when the team all turn around and blame me. It's heartwarming to be the cause of all that lovely bonding. 😂
3:07 for competitive speed rowing they move in the wrong direction
Lol
lol
Thats so true even if its just exercising i prefer to work out with someone rather than be alone.
Could I still Join soccer if I've never done a sport. I love soccer an I run really fast just not for a long time. And I have social anxiety and ppl will probably make fun of me...
What are the 3 benefits of exercise?
I need this it’s for school .-.
Me too
Me too 🤣💔

Gyaaaaaaaaat 🥵🥵🥵
Supportive teams my ass. Most times I have tried to get involved with sports, people scream at those who fuck up. Not a very fun experience.
In America, if you don't have a lot of money is very hard to do sports. Because if you are an immigrant, you cannot join a team because you have to be good to join the school team. That is why I usually go to the gym for workout, but it will be nice if high and middle schools would begin giving opportunity to people with less ability on sports to take a sport for free.

I love to play games but not sports, get it?
Why there are not man,s in the video
I love playing sports, I play volleyball, soccer & basketball. 😂⚽️🏀🏐
when does it once say anything about decrease in bone density
wait are you doing this for a pe assignment lol
John Holl yes, can’t find a single sentence where it mentions this.
I love sports and I love the memories. Some of the best memories of my life are playing hockey.
I would just workout at the gym alone and I saw results but, I was wasn't very motivated. it was until I enter a cross fit gym having a coach and being around other people it's just fun and I am seeing a lot more results.
well, sometimes being on a team can be proved really hard. If you have coaches and team mates that do not respect you and make you feel uncomfortable while being on the court with them, then you're gonna have the opposite results. And that is such a shame, because I've been playing volleyball in teams for eight years and recently I made the decision to stop competing just because of this phenomenon. Hope everyone finds a team that makes them feel like they are important and not useless in the team's activities.
What about horrible teammates that yell at you, and not in the encouraging way..
Get different teammates, talk to them about it or play another sport.
Sports has been a vital part of my conscious life. For 11 years, I have been a professional swimmer and can agree that sports are the best medicine for both the body and the mind. It reduces stress and anxiety as the soothing nature of water has a calming effect on the mind. Also, it's a great way of social interaction, which in turn has excellent mental health benefits. During that period of my life I can say that I had better sleep, mindfulness, and improved mood.
Ape die cakap tu raju??🤓🤔🤨
I think my biggest problems with sport are: my lack of stamina (just the lack energy and enthusiasm in general), I don't like being around people at all and the fact I burn calories faster than concord burns fuel like seriously I weigh like 5.5 stone and I'm like 5ft 4'' tall I cant put on weight and I eat a lot.
But I don't play with a team. I do swimming.
Swimming is the best! 🏊🏼
Oh and there are teams for swimming
Love the Video but yey could have least made the rowing boat go the right direction
What if school is the reason I don't have time for sports but I really want to?
i’m here bc of school :(
I like john wick better
It took me a while to realize how beneficial it is to work out even 10 minutes a day of jogging! I found myself being able to focus more than ever before

Well... I go to the gym with my friends so.... the effects are the same or not?
why do these black girls have straight hair in this video?
STOP THAT. could have been a relatable video 😔
Why do you think that straight hair is cool all the time!?
Maybe she's Indian. Dot, not feather.
This felt a bit like an advertisement for sports, which I'm completely fine with. I think as long as all kids find an activity that is healthy and they love, then they'll be happy.

I used to like playing basketball, but at grade 9, coach in charge said I was too short to play.
Thats sad
That's what I don't like about basketball. Play soccer then! Anyone is invited.
I'm gonna tell you like everyone. Try fencing
Try netball! It's really fun and height doesn't matter !
You don't have to be in a team, play it on the street, with friends and strangers.
I used to play soccer... I would sit down on the field because my legs "got tired" :|
Do E-Sports count? :)

Everything about this video is true, and I would say the pros outweigh the cons... the only bad part is getting an injury and missing half the season :(
Sports look fun, too bad I can't:
aim properly
throw properly
catch properly
kick properly
swim properly
be flexible
be aggressive or hurt anyone
or run without getting tired before 2 minutes have passed
I mean, that opens up biking, but I don't really enjoy it that much and someone stole my bike anyways. Guess I'll have to stick to indoor stuff.
Can someone explain me why I can't find the euphoria when running just like others do ? I tried for about 2 weeks everyday to lose some weight, but i actually didn't like running : i'm tired at the end of the session and i want to vomit, i'm so screwed that i can't enjoy my day after.
Everyone is different, brother...
Same here
I feel the same way, I think that running is not my sport, we probably should try others
I love this video for my english lesson🫶🏼
This video is inaccurate because it does not consider the time trade off. Sports often takes a lot of time if you play seriously. Would it be better to get the minimal exercise to still be healthy and invest the remaining time making more money or strengthening career related skills? Furthermore, young people can take considerable damage and still repair itself, whereas older individuals will have to focus on health. Money is more valuable in early life because it can be invested to make a lot more money in the future. Money also affords better treatment and better doctors. A rich guy can probably afford to hire an entire team of doctors and trainers for personal health. Thus, young people should focus on money rather than on health, but focus on health as they get old.
It depends on different people

What a great little clip!

I’m not going to lie,I HATE sports (I don’t mind dance and gymnastics but I am not good at it)so I am only doing this so I don’t humiliate my self in PE 😢
Don't forget the martial arts...
...and chess :^)
I would argue both chess and martial arts are a sport
Like fencing. Or physical chess
Bob Milph
I, too, would argue that martial arts are sports. With chess, I'm still not so sure.
Laser tag can be a sport, video games and chess are not conventional sport, they're mind sport. Believe it or not, it's actually a term.
***** I know, that's why i said, it *can* be a sport if there are enough competitive players.
But in all seriousness, i don't think it will happen, since people want some real shooting sport like paintball. It's much more fun and realistic.
Don't do sit ups, they are harmful and can cause lower back injuries.
