Today, education programs at all levels face intense criticism, and physical education programs are no exception. In fact, as school budgets shrink and administrators cut "frills," physical education may be one of the first programs to go. If we are to secure a place for physical education in the school curriculum, we must answer two questions: (1) What are the physical, psychological, and intellectual effects of physical education upon the total development of the child? and (2) Given these effects, can physical education be considered a frill? What are the physical …show more content…
At the end of six years and throughout the last five years of the study, the children in the experimental group (extra physical education) had consistently better academic grades and achievement in physical education as compared to their counterparts in the control group Shephard, R.

However, several studies show some improvement similar to that obtained following aerobic exercises. Anaerobic exercise can lead to better results than aerobic exercise. No such studies were undertaken with patients who had severe depressive disorders, although clinical experience indicates a very limited value for exercise intervention.People who swim have been observed to be significantly less tense, depressed, angry, confused, and anxious after swimming. Weight training with free weights is associated with enhanced self-concept in men. Exercising has helped yoga participants to be less anxious, tense, depressed, angry, and confused, while fencing can increase vigor. Moods such as tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion have been shown to decrease following physical exercise while vigor increases.Chronic exercise can influence mood state positively and decrease anxiety in normal subjects. But on the other hand, excessive chronic exercise may lead to fatigue, anxiety, and depression. It also appears that obsessive involvement in exercise often leads to problems with behavior at home and work, physical injury, and feelings of irritability when the obsessive exerciser is forced to stop exercising.Enhanced involvement in physical activity can be beneficial to the well-being of the elderly and can positively affect grade scores of students in primary schools.Psychological
