Is traditional sport more beneficial today, or e-sports?

On the one hand, many people consider traditional sports to be more beneficial. First of all, sports improve human health. By engaging in sports, people become physically fit and energetic. Secondly, as the saying goes, “A healthy body hosts a healthy mind,” meaning that a healthy person’s intellect develops better and it becomes easier to overcome illnesses. Moreover, people who exercise regularly also differ in appearance. For example, a 72-year-old man who has practiced sports since childhood looks much younger than his biological age.

On the other hand, the opinions of those who prefer e-sports are also valid. First of all, today young people’s interest in the IT field is growing, and this is closely related to e-sports. By learning this type of sport, they also gain the opportunity to learn IT skills. Secondly, many people earn income through e-sports, which is why it is turning into a profession. In addition, specialists say the following about e-sports: “It improves reaction and perception and helps make quick and accurate decisions.”

In my opinion, e-sports are developing day by day. This type of sport also has many advantages. As the saying goes, “Think first, then speak,” it is not just a game, but a means of developing strategic thinking and making correct decisions. Today, this field is popular in countries such as the USA, Russia, South Korea, and Kazakhstan. Therefore, a decision was adopted by the President to further develop this sport in Uzbekistan. Uzbek e-sports players won second place in the “Moynaq-2021” tournament. A few years ago, a Pakistani teenager, Sumaya Hasan, won a prize worth 1 million 280 thousand US dollars in e-sports. This shows that interest in e-sports is increasing day by day.

In conclusion, the choice of which sport to pursue depends on people’s interests and preferences. The most important thing is that they benefit from their choice.
