SPORTS AND WELLNESS This section aims to highlight the main issues Tamil youth face and have faced with regards to participating in sports and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This section outlines the solutions and recommendations that were offered to increase participation and interest in sports and healthy living. Based on the initial ground survey, as seen in figure 13, about 45% of participants either do not engage in sports ever or only engage in sports on a monthly basis. To understand why this might be the case, participants were encouraged to share their experiences in sports and their concerns. The issues discussed were centered around the following topics: 1) Popular sports & considerations 2) Gender & race restrictions 3) Nutritional awareness * Source: Findings from ground survey Maathi Yosi | 2019 44
