As the saying goes “All Work and No Play Makes John a Dull boy”

          Indeed, this is a truism that school officials have considered in intensifying the curriculum on Physical Education. They believe that students should not only be developed intellectually but also physically.

          In college, we were taught that physical education is a part of the curriculum in the elementary and secondary education. Physical education includes training and maintaining one’s physical body through educational means. It is also about sharpening our cognitive abilities and motor skills via athletics, exercises and various other physical activities like ball games, mental arts and dancing.

          We naturally acquire advantages as we inculcate in ourselves the importance of physical education.

          One benefit that students derive in physical education, especially students with obesity will eventually find themselves in good body shape in the course of their physical education be it in forms of ball games, dance and any kind of athletics.

          As a matter of fact, schools and universities are encouraging students to take part in activities that require physical involvement, be it in the form of exercises or sports. Some even come with their own fitness centers to give students a chance to enroll in their many programs. Campuses on physical education stress on the importance of physical education by making sure students are constantly taking part in different activities and sport functions.

          Again , lessons on physical education are not only important but are of great help to develop a healthy body.
