Quality physical education programs help all students develop health-related fitness, physical competence, cognitive understanding, and positive attitudes about physical activity, so that they can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles.

Quality physical education programs provide learning experiences that improve mental alertness, academic performance, and readiness and enthusiasm for learning in our nations’ youth.

Quality physical education programs are needed to increase the physical competence, health-related fitness, self-responsibility, and enjoyment of physical activity for all students so that they can be physically active for a lifetime. Physical education programs can only provide these benefits if they are well-planned and well-implemented.

Why do we need Physical Education as students?

• Improved Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem
  It instills a stronger sense of self-worth in students based on their mastery of skills and concepts in physical activity.
• Improved Judgment
  It can affect moral development. Students have the opportunity to assume leadership, cooperate with others; question actions and regulations and accept responsibility for their own behavior.
• Self-Discipline
  Facilitates development of student responsibility for health and fitness
• Stress Reduction
  Physical activity becomes an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety, and facilitates emotional stability and resilience.
