The Common-Sense Understanding of Sport as Good for Our Health

The common-sense understanding of sport as good for our health has been critiqued by sociologists because:

A) Sport is often conflated with physical education, exercise and play, which helps to overlook the differences between the various ways that sport can be practiced in more or less healthful ways
B) There is very little research that sport, played at any level, at any intensity or for any duration or frequency is good for our health
C) Injuries from sport are often worse than other major public health concerns like cancer, heart disease and diabetes
D) The language used in the public domain to connect sport and health is often overly pessimistic
