How outdoor sport surfaces are important to physical and mental well-being and adding to community spirit

Posted on September 8, 2020March 6, 2021 by Melanie Pattenden
Basketball court Surfacing

Outdoor sports courts are allowed to open, if those responsible can do so safely. With a new normal coming into effect as the nation gets to grips on how to carry on. Including local organisations, councils and private businesses that utilise these outdoor spaces in one guise or another. Whether that be sports related or just to hang out areas with friends, the outdoor elements of playgrounds, sports courts or outdoor areas that are accessible are fundamentally important for their role now than ever before.

Immunology of exercise

An immunology study released data showing that the risk-benefit continuum can help us make informed choices when it comes to playing sport and exercise. If you are playing sport on outdoor sport surfaces this means the risk of transmission is lower than if you were to play indoors, as well as this being more active boosts your immune system. There have been large studies that consistently show people get sick less often and less severely if active. The government have announced that carrying a few extra pounds puts you at higher risk of severe symptoms from Coronavirus, this means it is more important than ever to make sure we are in best physical condition, playing sports is the easiest and safest way to do this!

Now that we can play sport outdoors with up to 5 other people or two households, we are able to create a ‘sports bubble’. This sports bubble limits the risk of infection and allows us to enjoy working as a team, improve our physical and mental health, feel less stressed and sleep better. All of these positive effect’s sports create were lost in lockdown so it is more important than ever to begin building this back up!

Mental health benefits

People who exercise regularly have reduced stress within their lives, and in times which have been harder than ever being able alleviate this stress and improve serotonin levels is invaluable. Depression has doubled since the beginning of lockdown with 1 of 5 people reporting depression symptoms, and with mental health being more important than ever exercise and sport has a renewed value. Fresh air and activity outdoors have been proven to reduce anxiety and improve serotonin levels, access to outdoor sport facilities have never been so valuable.

Community Spirit

Throughout lockdown many spoke about how quickly the British public got back their ‘Blitz Spirit’ and community that we had begun to lose in our new fast paced digital world. Despite the fact we were all separated we worked together to help the most vulnerable in society, and nearly 1 million people volunteered to be NHS responders. A great way to keep that community spirit going is through sport. Sport has always had the power to bring people together, and whilst we can’t play sport indoors, outdoor sport surfaces have been a lifeline for many.

Outdoor Sport Surfaces vs Indoors

Studies have shown that those who exercise indoors use less energy than people who exercise outside, so if you want a better-quality work out in the same amount of time outdoor sport surfaces are your solution!

Sport is a major part of people’s lives all over the country and the world, but the pandemic has made be unsure of how to play and train safely. The most practical way to do this is outdoors, dispersion with good ventilation helps a lot, and the UV light in sunshine is free and effective as a disinfectant. Indoors, especially in closed crowded spaces, is where most transmission happens.

Overview

Children have missed a lot of school where they would normally learn invaluable life skills such as following the rules to developing team goals, outdoor activities encourage self-confidence and coordination with others. Sport and team activities can help build all of these qualities and doing them outdoors keeps it safe for children and adults! Check out our beautiful and bright outdoor sport surfaces.

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone! Celestine Georas Yehudit
