In the educational process sports are used as a pedagogical and social factor supporting active health and fitness, which helps influence the intellectual, social and physical development of students in tertiary education. The role of sports is to offset the one-sided study strain and support the prevention of risk factors of lifestyle such as smoking or obesity. The contents of sports activities influence social understanding, networking, responsibility and cooperation.
Recreation, leisure and sports activities may involve individuals, small groups, teams or whole communities and are relevant to people of all different ages, abilities and levels of skill. The types of recreation, leisure and sports activities people participate in vary greatly depending on local context, and tend to reflect the social systems and cultural values.
