The Importance Of Physical Education In The School Curriculum?

We are facing certain issues that are helping in incorporating physical education in the school curriculum since we have come to the realization of the benefits. Lack of physical activity amongst children when physical activity is required for their well-being we have issues on why physical education is in need now more than ever-in schools. Also recognizing the reasons as to why some schools are now adopting physical education to the curriculum. Although physical education should, become incorporated in schools more due to lack of inactivity it has come, to light about the benefits contributed by physical activity. Nevertheless, it has proven to help in preventing obesity amongst the children and teens when physical education was, added

Still, there was evidence in suggesting why physical activity was beneficial to kids in schools at an early age to adulthood. Some of the benefits that was found to be because of physical activity, it was known to “increase cardiovascular health risk factors, and metabolic health biomarkers, improve bone health, also modern evidence indicates that physical activity helps in benefiting in both mental health and academic achievement” (Piercey, et al, 2015).
