Care of Physical Health

With so many offers of temptations, youth often has problem how to fill their time well. Sport becomes one of healthy ways to do hobby and optimize their youth time  positively. On Thursday, October 20, 2016, the participants of youth problem training held by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta met together to spend their time through sport. Mikha with 14 other friends from several campuses enthusiastically played futsal at MU Futsal, Kusumanegara, Yogyakarta.

What is the basis for them to do such activity as a follow-up of the training? Basically the activity is a simple action of individual and group of participants who already have experiences from Stube’s training. Youth problem training made them thinking and having self preparation. They understand already what  the future is but unluckily they are not well-prepared yet. They also understand what the risk of bad habits are but have no methods yet to avoid them all. Along these weeks they began to realize and perform simple steps to solve youth problem that affect many young people.

Many problems such as free sex, laziness, low learning spirit, declining work ethic and hedonistic lifestyle including bad diet causing the physical condition of young people today are not always healthy and vulnerable from disease. To avoid them, youth can do many ways to prevent them.

Many ways of physical maintenance can be done with exercise, meditation, reading books and avoid foods that contain dyes, preservatives and flavorings. Mikha and Arius, students from Technology Institute of Yogyakarta who have just entered the world of college and undergone one semester of the study program tried to do follow-up in the field of sports. At first, the members of the follow-up only four people but it is then responded quickly by other friends of Stube.

Yohanes Dian Alpasa argued, "Actually, a follow-up through sport can not be categorized into a real action that bring impact to many people out of the community members. This sport was seen only for the member only. However, I believed that their activity was a form of response toward healthy life understanding that they get in the training. They have learned to work in group and coordinate in a team”. "A work in group became an expensive opportunity in the midst of individual lifestyle. We need youth who can organize any simple action and eager to keep on learning to be a leader," he added. A small team that will continue to learn and train themselves to be better as an experience of a member of Stube that has joined since 2013, Putri Dadi, "... we have won trophy of rector on women futsal."

After match, participants discussed about the continuity of the activity. Such sport will be more useful if it involves youth from various groups such as church youth, campus community and other youth groups. A match with other community will be held soon. By having regular exercise, youth will have healthier physic. We hope more and more young people will care of their physical health. (YDA)
