Regular physical activity is one of the most important things people can do for their health. In combination with a nutritious diet, a solid exercise regimen can help to maintain a healthy weight, strengthen bones and muscles and improve your overall mood and mental health.

For some of us, finding time for regular exercise can be difficult — but with a Sport Court home basketball court, the whole family can get their daily exercise in without even having to leave the backyard.

 

For Kids

 

For the developing child, regular exercise has been shown to aid in physical development — helping children to build strong bones and muscles — and helps to combat childhood obesity.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, physical activity in childhood is associated with improved strength and endurance, reduced stress and anxiety, lower body mass index and improved cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, physical activity in childhood helps to ward off chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers.

With a home basketball court or multi-purpose Sport Court, kids can work on their three-pointers or ball handling skills from the safety of their own backyards — and parents don’t have to spend time shuttling kids to and from the local basketball court. With your very own Sport Court, getting your kids involved in sports has never been easier.

 

For Adults

A home basketball court or multi-purpose game court isn’t just for kids. Adults need physical activity just as much as kids do, and regular exercise has been shown to increase the lifespan of the average adult. Physical activity in adulthood helps to maintain a healthy weight, preserve essential muscle mass and helps with arthritis and other joint conditions.

Additionally, regular exercise helps to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke — two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Physical activity can also reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes; if you already have diabetes, it can help you better manage your blood glucose levels.

When you have a family, finding time to spend together can be challenging. With a backyard home basketball court or game court, you and your family can spend more time with one another — and reap the benefits of regular exercise together.
