Sport is very important for people’s development. For some people it is part of daily routine, and for others it is something that exists in background, but is not considered valuable. There are so many benefits for our body from sport and physical activities. It helps to be healthy and keep fit. Unfortunately, there is a problem related to passive lifestyle of people in Kazakhstan. Nowadays, it is rare to meet people doing sports on streets. A lot of citizens are not enough active and it seems that they do not have a desire for physical activities. Based on statistics from before COVID-19 pandemic, only 15% percent of Kazakhs are engaged in sports. Because of these, comprehensive plan about developing sport came into force in Kazakhstan. In my opinion it is very negative indication and it is important to increase this number. I decided to investigate this issue, because I am concerned about this and there are some factors that made me choose this topic. Firstly, I am interested in sports and want others interested on it too. In this case, we will have the opportunity to raise Kazakhstan to a new level in world sports competitions. To be honest, presently Kazakhstan is the outsider in most types of sport. It illustrates about relevance of this problem. I hope that we will solve it by increasing number of athletes, perhaps there are undiscovered talents in our country. Secondly, I saw quite a lot people that have problems with their health. Most of them do not smoke and do not drink alcohol in large quantities. The main reason is passive lifestyle; therefore, they do not feel well and get sick very often. At this moment it is very relevant problem, because of Corona Virus. Most of them have poor immunity and they feel weak. Certainly, sport is not the best way to improve immunity, but it really helps to stay healthy. Daily runs and small workouts with exercises will have significant influence on our body. It is good, that today, after quarantine number of people that engaged in sports is increasing. I think that this research can affect to this increasing, that is why it is necessary to investigate this issue. It will create a new society that follows to healthy lifestyle. Moreover, head of state Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed to develop mass sports in Kazakhstan. In the best case, solutions, such as organization regional tournaments among citizens, can help people to raise interests and desire for sports.
