Physical
Education is a vital part of our public education system.
It is a key to improving a child's confidence, brainpower and long-term
health. One of the major goals of physical
education is to prepare students to be active and healthy
for a lifetime. Physical
education should be an integral part of the total
education of every child in Kindergarten through Grade 12.
Recognizing the importance of physical
education at a young age promotes healthy habits
throughout life. As modern life becomes more sedentary and specialized,
particularly for those who live in cities, the importance of physical education
increases. It is important that children understand the importance of Physical Education
and good health in their lifestyle. Schools should also recognize the
importance of physical
education.
One significant area of concern is the decrease in the physical activity of
youth and of physical
education in schools. The need for more physical education
in schools is increasingly obvious to parents and healthcare
professionals as well as professional educators. This is a great first
step in elevating the role of physical
education in schools.
Teaching physical
education and play are as crucial to a child's development
as any academic endeavor. Teaching physical
education majors study the effects of physical activity on
the body and mind, especially in the development of young people.
Physical
education is a supremely important component of a child's
development. Physical
Education is an important aspect of a total education.
Again one of the major goals of physical
education is to prepare students to be active and healthy
for a lifetime. Physical
education is key to improving a child's confidence,
brainpower and long-term health. The aim of physical education
is to establish a culture of health and fitness, which is for the
benefit of society. Quality physical
education should be provided to all students as an
integral part of K-12 education.
