Isn't the aim of sport also to reduce stress, relieve tension and have fun?
While physical activity is of course good for long-term health (maintaining a healthy weight, preventing illnesses such as cancer, etc.), on a day-to-day basis it's also a great way to have fun, release tension and let off steam. So many ways to dissipate the stress accumulated during the day. If you'd like to meet new people, develop your physical abilities, enjoy rewarding experiences and build your self-confidence, don't hesitate to find your activity!
