WHY PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT AT FRANCISCO NIEVA HIGH SCHOOL

 

Physical education is a noticeable part in the comprehensive education system. Therefore, quality physical education programs are needed to increase the physical competence, health-related fitness, self-responsibility and enjoyment of physical activity in every student so that they can be physically active for a lifetime. Physical education programs can only provide these benefits if they are well-planned and well-implemented.

 

Physical Fitness Improvement: Children's muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, body composition and cardiovascular endurance. 

 

Skill Development: Motor skills which provide a safe, successful and satisfying participation in physical activities.

 

Regular, Healthful Physical Activity: A wide-range of developmentally-appropriate activities for all children.

 

Support of Other Subject Areas: Knowledge reinforcement learned across the syllabus serves as a lab for the application of content in science, maths and social studies.

 

Self-discipline: Facilitates development of student responsibility for health and fitness.

 

Improved Judgment: Quality physical education can influence moral development. Students have the opportunity to assume leadership, cooperate with others; question actions and regulations and accept responsibility for their own behaviour.

 

Stress Reduction: Physical activity becomes an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety, and facilitates emotional stability and resilience.


Strengthened Peer Relationships: Physical education can be a major force in helping children socialize with others successfully and provides opportunities to learn positive people’s skills, especially during late childhood and adolescence, by being able to participate in dances, games and sports as an important part of peer culture. 

Improved Self-confidence and Self-esteem: Physical education instills a stronger sense of self-worth in children based on their mastery of skills and concepts in physical activity. They can become more confident, assertive, independent and self-controlled. 

 

 

Experience Setting Goals: Physical education provides children the opportunity to set and strive for personal, achievable goals.
