The Importance of Physical Education

According to educationandbehavior.com and many other scientific studies, physical education is as important as schoolwork because it is an essential part of healthy living.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) analysed 26 individual students in December 2017, examining the impact of physical activity on academic performance and/or classroom behaviour. The results implied that if schools increase students’ physical activity, they can significantly improve academic achievement and classroom behaviour.

Here are some other positive effects that prove the importance of physical education, especially for children:

• 
  Supports healthy growth and development
  
• 
  Decreases depression and boredom
  
• 
  Enhances focusing and concentration
  
• 
  Regulates sleeping hours and quality
  
• 
  Improves flexibility and happiness
