Physical education is important
Do you think that physical education is important?

The value of physical education has been realized
since the earliest times of human existence. The
Greeks and the Romans considered it
indispensable to the development of a good
personality and character.

Today in all the schools and universities in the
world, a great deal emphasis is being placed on
physical education as a means of producing
citizens of good character and personality.

Physical education develops the muscles of the
body scientifically and increases muscular activity
and physical strength. All this makes the body
active and efficient. It is now also realized that
there is a close connection between the body and
the mind. Therefore, if the body is active, the mind
too is active. Proof of this can be easily found
among children. Children who are inactive
physically are usually also mentally lazy. An active
and efficient body is a healthy body. When the
body is healthy, the mind too is and therefore
happy. Thus, physical education contributes
greatly to the health and happiness of an
individual such an individual could do a great deal
for the good of society.

Physical education can also contribute to the

strength of a nation. If the youths of a country
receive proper physical education, they can build
up a strong country to protect itself from foreign
attacks or invasions.

Further, physical education provides opportunities
for contacts with people of other lands. Athletes of
all countries meet at various countries at various
times to compete with one another and thus
promote common understanding among countries
for the benefit of one another.

It is therefore, not without reason that physical
education has been a part and parcel of academic
pursuit today. I do therefore agree that physical
education is important to all people.
