How Physical Education contribute to young people's physical activity level?

Regular physical activity participation throughout childhood provides immediate health benefits, by
positively effecting body composition and musculo-skeletal development and reducing the presence of
coronary heart disease risk factors In recognition of these health benefits, physical activity guidelines for
children and youth have been developed by the Health Education Authority Development Agency. The
primary recommendation advocates the accumulation of 1 hour's physical activity per day of at least
moderate intensity, through lifestyle, recreational and structured activity forms. A secondary
recommendation is that children take part in activities that help develop and maintain musculo-skeletal
health, on at least two occasions per week.This target may be addressed through weight-bearing
activities that focus on developing muscular strength, endurance and flexibility, and bone health.School
physical education (PE) provides a context for regular and structured physical activity participation. To
this end a common justification for PE's place in the school curriculum is that it contributes to children's
health and fitness.

Physical fitness can be a key component of a healthy lifestyle. This is why P.E. is a key subject in all the
leading universities in the world. When regular fitness activities are included in the lifestyle of a student,
it is possible for them to maintain fit. Regular physical activity can help to improve the absorption of
nutrients in the body. It also helps to improve cardiovascular health and develop muscular strength.The
heart plays an important role in pumping blood to the entire body. When students remain inactive
throughout the day, they can be at a risk of various cardiovascular issues. Unlike adults, children don’t
have to spend a lot of their time in the gym to get the adequate amount of workout.Students get a lot of
benefits from physical education classes. P.E. classes can help students to become more aware of the
importance of a healthy lifestyle. The students can also retain a higher level of knowledge as a result of
the overall health. This knowledge can help them to make wise decisions concerning their safety, health,
and wellbeing.

So we need to take care of our bodies and not let them so that we do not get sick and always keep our
body active also eat vegetables and fruits.It is clear that physical education plays a key role in the
development of a student/individual life. There are various factors that should be considered in the
development of sports activities. One of these is the age of the student. It is important for a physical
educator to help learners make the right choice of physical activities either now or in the future.
Therefore, there are some good reasons for why physical education should be incorporated into the
school’s curriculum.For instance, sports can be used to engage young people and instill positive
characters in them. Students have the opportunity to take leadership roles in sports activities and this
helps them to develop leadership skills.
