Mayabeque, Cuba: It is important to instill in our children a taste for sports, for their health benefits, for being a symbol of strength and discipline at its best.

The commissioner of taekwondo in the province of Mayabeque, Oleidy Ricardo Medina, emphasized the importance of this physical activity for the new generations.

"It is a practice that ennobles, because in addition to increasing the standard of living it also prepares the athlete as a good man for society," Medina said.

"The training in this martial art allows the athletes a physical, mental and psychological development," he added.

Sport helps to prevent problems as widespread as obesity and sedentary lifestyle. It is also an ideal way to promote relaxation and discharge of tensions and nerves, also present in children and adolescents.
