Essay on Physical Education Goals

With technology practically living in the homes of people now, they no longer have time for physical labor or they don't even have to do physical labor because they either have other people paid to do it or they have the technology to do so. Obesity is rising and people and starting to not live up to their potential, children who should even enjoy the outdoors more are now couped up in their houses with faces to the screen and maybe a controller in their hand. Lack of physical activity does not only cause obesity, it also reduces brain power. Families should be taught the proper way to be healthy along with physical exercises to help them stay fit. By putting some of these things into your daily lives obesity levels will begin to drop and brain power will also increase with it. The increase in physical education affects adults and children in the same way, it affects them emotionally, socially, academically, and physically.

It goes deeper than just helping you lose weight, gain muscles, or even gain all the abs you want and flex with it. Exercise helps you lose weight, which is the first thing anybody in their right mind would say when asked what physical education does for them. Exercise has a lot of health benefits, like heart disease and stroke, daily exercise helps by strengthening your heart muscles raising your high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and lowering low-density lipoprotein ( bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, increasing the heart's working capacity, it reduces blood pressure for those with high blood pressure, it reduces fat which is hand in hand with high blood pressure, it helps control non-insulin-dependent diabetes, it reduces back pain and osteoporosis. It also improves the mood of the people involved in the exercise because you tend to have fun when playing sports with friends and family. It boosts energy and promotes sleep because after sports you always feel at ease when playing with friends and family. It can be fun generally. It is the most important because it connects to health and it's the most obvious.

This next one is one of the many people tend not to think possible is emotional, most people have this general idea that the only use of PE is physical but it can also help emotionally especially if you are not emotionally stable. For someone to be emotionally stable they have to be able to cope with stress, challenges, problems and make the most of opportunities. It deters depression, it does this because when you start focusing on your task instead of focusing on the downside of life, it reduces stress, confidence boosts especially well in the sports when you are good at something it tends to improve your confidence and improves happiness, It improves mental alertness when playing sports you need to be agile when throwing the ball, catching the ball or even turning, playing sports improves that part of you, teaches how to control your emotions, when playing sports you cannot just have an emotional outburst at any time, it may cause your friends or family to laugh at you or make fun of you because of your immaturity, so sports help you to control your emotions but it teaches you in a very subtle way. You begin to have good vibes all around, you're free of negative thoughts and filled with happiness instead of carrying negativity around you, you have your confidence at the highest, learn how to control your emotions in a better way and you have a lower risk of depression.

You make friends during Physical Education but you tend not to put it under the benefits of Physical Education. Well fortunately for me it is also one of the main benefits of Physical Education, it affects us Socially. What do you call it when you go out to play games and meet new people and later become friends, this act is called socializing.

When playing sports you meet new people and bond over the sports you play and later you might even end up being best of friends. It improves teamwork and cooperation, when playing sports everybody on the team is dependent on you, you cannot just start playing a team sport on your own and expect to win, you learn to cooperate with people you would not normally get along with. It improves self-image, and having a bad image limits your chances of making friends, when you start playing sports and you're excellent at it you start to have a better image of yourself. You begin to respect others when working in groups on the field and a leader is put in place, you are expected to respect that leader or you will be removed from the team and replaced by someone with a better attitude to stay on the team you learn to respect authority. Improves your sense of belonging, when involved in a game you begin to feel like belong and you feel like you fit in. You begin to have better communication skills because you learn how to communicate with your teammates in a way your opponents would not understand, and you become patient with the people around you. You learn to support others since your communication skills are improved, you begin to talk to people in a better way and you begin to understand them when talking to them, you support them unconditionally. Your socializing skills increase and you make more friends, you're no longer socially awkward, and you don't feel like you don’t belong.

Then most importantly academically, students nowadays ask why Physical Education is important in their lives why they need it academically, and why it is graded. But that is a thing students don’t get it also helps them academically. The cause of students failing most time is not because they are underachievers, they are not smart or they don't care, it’s because teachers are working against us, they keep us stuck to our seats throughout the class.

Exercise directly impacts the behavior and development of the brain, it increases the oxygen flow to the brain, and it also promotes the growth of new brain cells. It improves your physical skills which can make a huge difference in your learning skills, we can conclude better, and it improves your skills and motor development. Improves self-discipline, when doing sports you learn the rules so you don’t get disqualified, and as you get accustomed to that you become accustomed to the school rules. You get the chance to learn how to set goals, when playing sports in the team when planning the game out, goals are set so your team can win. This helps you when you’re setting goals in life, it makes you strive and achieve your goals. It teaches respect, you learn to respect your superiors during sports because things like that if you show no respect, you will be kicked out of the team, so when you get disciplined it becomes part of you and you start taking it towards your academics and your teachers. Improves moral development students begin to have the proper attitude towards sports and slowly put it into their school work. Physical Education impacts mostly academically, everything altogether connects to academics.

Physical Education also has its downs, if done in the morning before an important class it may affect the students, the student may begin to fall asleep during class and not pay attention, and the student may become extremely tired and get distracted easily. Some may become extremely hyper and start making noise during class and unfortunately, some come to class sweating and smelling like animals. Some people who are not good at sports may end up being embarrassed and their self-esteem may be ruined, some may not be able to balance sports and school work, and some may have joint injuries like osteoarthritis and may be told not to play anymore for their safety. The people who have bad sportsmanship may end up making the people who can’t play as well as them feel bad about themselves like they can’t do anything in life.

Physical Education has its pros and cons but the pros outweigh the cons by far, the physical education that will cause a joint injury is the same thing that will reduce the swelling and the pain. The same PE is the one that will make you feel bad about yourself when playing a sport but when you start another one, you are sure you’re good at and you begin to do it better than the people that make you feel bad. PE is very good and I feel like it is as important as any other subject.
