In the early times, classes on physical education were considered as nothing at all. PE teachers simply asked their students to fall in line and do little exercise.

Actually nothing significance to one’s health, especially to students’ health, PE teachers gave years back.

Today the trend on physical education has totally changed. As a Senior High School PE Teacher, physical education has become an important part of the curriculum.

For this, it has been realized that physical education is an important part of the learning process and without it we would have lazy, obese and unhygienic students. Being physically active is one role of physical education but the habit to remain clean and fresh everyday where our students tend to be messy and unclean is also considered in physical education classes.

Physical education classes stress the importance of healthy lifestyle that gives students the knowledge in choosing which healthy food is or not. How to compute the calorie needed by the body with regards to age, height, weight and the amount of activity a body do.

            Physical education, to be effective physical education teachers should show graphic representation of what they speak if, to imprint the idea even more so, in the minds of children both young and old.

            Surely, physical education teachers will mean a lot to parents for having taught their children hygiene and healthy lifestyle.
