🏆April 6 — International Day of Sport for Development and Peace!

Sport isn’t just about training or competition. It helps people work on themselves, develop useful skills, and transform their lives positively. Today, we’re sharing some fascinating facts that might surprise you!

🔵 Sport extends life
Research shows that just 30 minutes of daily physical activity can increase life expectancy by 3–5 years. You don’t need a gym — brisk walking or moving around with friends outdoors is enough!

🔵 Volunteers — the backbone of major sporting events
At the 2023 Tashkent International Marathon, more than 500 volunteers participated. At Tokyo 2020, the number reached over 70,000! Events of this scale are hard to imagine without volunteers.

🔵 Sport improves education quality
Children who are physically active regularly absorb new information 20% faster. Sports that require quick thinking — like table tennis or basketball — are especially effective.

🔵 Yoga helps volunteers avoid burnout
Just 10 minutes of yoga or meditation per day reduces stress and supports emotional stability — especially valuable for volunteers handling multiple tasks at big events.

💡 Conclusion: Sport isn’t just physical activity — it’s a powerful tool for personal growth and development!
