INTRODUCTION
If there is one area that is widely accepted both in the scientific community and elsewhere, it’s well the benefits that sport gives us. These benefits are varied and covers a broad spectrum of domain. Among these areas we can mention in first time the physical benefits of sports. Playing sports can make you stronger and healthier, contributing to lower obesity rates, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Athletes tend to have lower body mass indexes, but non-athlete participants will still benefit from developing muscles and burning calories. Active people tend to have lower rates of diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercising regularly through sports programs could contribute to better heart and lung function. Learning to play sports as a child might carry over into being a more active adult, according to Sports and Development.org. Psych Central states that some sports tend to have a more lasting impact from childhood into adulthood: soccer, baseball and hockey, for example. In sports such as gymnastics or diving, athletes tend to peak while still young and not participate as adults.
Many studies highlight the importance of Healthy Socializing.
These studies report that children who play sports are less likely to use drugs and smoke. Female athletes might also be less likely to become pregnant in high school. For children, playing sports can help develop friendships centered on healthy, safe and enjoyable activities. Adults who play sports also have the opportunity to develop friendships centered around an active lifestyle. Team practice and competitions provide socializing options that are healthier and more active compared with regular sessions of other more sedentary activities.Sports can particularly benefit low-income individuals, who might not have the money or resources to socialize outside of playing sports, according to Child Fund International.

Sport contributing to academic success.
People who play sports tend to perform better at school, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports. Student athletes earn higher grades and earn higher test scores on standardized tests. They also have lower dropout rates and a better chance of getting into college.
Sport building character values.
Sports also play the important role of imparting character values, according to Sport and Development.org. Playing sports can help teach honesty, teamwork and fair play. Learning to follow rules and respecting teammates and opponents can also be useful. Experiencing the role of a graceful winner and loser teaches people about being humble, and competition in general can teach individuals about self-respect, confidence and managing stress. Taking on leading roles within your team can also teach leadership, according to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
The sport phenomenon is amplified by the explosion of connected objects.
Since the iPhone’s launch in 2007, mobile health technology has become a growing trend among populations all across the globe. According to an mHealth survey, 33% of people own an iPhone. This rise in smartphone ownership means that more and more people are going online to find information on a mobile device.

The usage of mobile health apps and wearables is ever-growing (more than 52% of smartphone users gather health-related information on their phone). This number is favored especially by GAFA and more particularly Apple who is developing more and more his health application.

Health-related data is a precious asset for both individuals and stakeholders in the data-driven sports, health and wellness industry.
