Many people around the world have different point view in
sport and leisure, human race have to maintain their health and strength to
live healthy and happy that can be contained throw in different ways such as
how do they live and what they do in leisure and sport.
Sport and leisure can reflect life style for both of
cultures and individual, so as United Arab Emirates have witness great development
in less than 50 years and that mean there are some people who witness the
difference in sport and leisure in that time period for sure some people seeing
this development in sport and leisure are good and some not.
The best way to know the changes that happen in the UAE is
to interview a person that has witness that changes, so I have decided to
interview my uncle who is around 50 years old his name is Ahmed Murshed Alromaithi
and he known the changes in this 50 years.
I asked my uncle how did they maintain their health at the
past and what kind of sport and what did they do in leisure his answer was,
that there were two kind of local who lived in desert and who lived near the
sea both of them had different ways he said such as people who used to live in
desert they used to spend time by hunting with falcons ( falconer ), horses (Equestrian
) and camels was the most important since it can be used for travel and milk
also in their leisure they use it for racing. And for sport to maintain their
health was not necessary since they used to walk a lot and just to get water
and that mean they always stay fit.
For other people who lived near the sea in their leisure
time they used to go fishing by many ways, fishing had many purposes such as
for fun, food resource and materials. Also they used to race using boat made
from wood and they had fun, for sport they had many type of games that can be
played with groups such as (Find the Rock), this game was to get a rock and
mark it and it will be thrown in the sea and who find it first is winner. But
now days a lot have change more sport have introduced to the UAE such as
soccer, fitness, boxing, and more and for leisure now days used in wrong way
for some of people such as playing online games for more than 10 hrs a day!!.
