    Abstract This study reviewed some of the contributions of sport to health and development. Physical inactivity is an undersirable lifestyle and it is a threat to good, healthy living. Health and quality of life can be maintained and improved upon by regular physical acrtivity. Regular participation by appropriate physical activities and sports by both sexes and all ages serves as a medium through which competition; friendship, tolerance, unity, discipline, endurance and diplomacy are promoted. Sport can serve as an educational platform, a mobilization process, a way to strengthen individuals, communities and a source of joy, inspiration and hope. The authors recommend amongst others that, government should organize enlightenment campaign through mass media in order to educate people on benefits inherent in sport participation; every individual should partake in sport activity so as to prevent peoples’ exposure to hypokinetic diseases which are dangerous to health.
