More and more people follow the sedentary lifestyle. The reasons for that are the surging popularity of social media and increased demand on jobs where the main position is sitting in front of the computer. It can be tackled by promoting events which require physical activity and nurture a habit of being keen on sport from the young age.
People nowadays are lacking of physical exercises and there are two major causes for that problem. Firstly, almost each person has phone applications which have short clips and instead of devoting that time for workout or just for simple walk outside, people surf in the internet and can hang up for hours staring to their phones watching clips on popular social media applications such as Instagram or TikTok. Secondly, with the arrival of digital age, appeared a lot of specialties in IT-sphere, which require just sitting in one position for a long periods of time. As a result, people deteriorating their health, do not giving to their organism sufficient amount of movement.
There are two main solutions for that tendency. As people sit on social media, managers need to spread different campaigns where people can do sports. For example in Kazakhstan, there is a growing popularity of races on various distances due to that, many people started to keen on running and continue to do exercise. Another possible way to tackle that problem is to teach younger generation to workout. Therefore, children would have a habit of doing sports from the young age and with the high possibility they will not give up on sports as it would be the crucial part of their lives.
In conclusion, the reasons for not getting sufficient amount of physical activity are the addiction to social media and widespreadness of sedentary lifestyle jobs, however the possible solution would be promoting physical active events and enroll children to sport sections.
