Is physical education good or bad for the youth children?
Physical education has been a debated issue in school all over the country. It raises the question whether kids in school should have physical education required or not. Physical education is also known as PE and it is the development and care of the body ranging from simple callisthenic exercises to a course of study providing training in hygiene, gymnastics, and the performance and management of athletic games. Physical education should be mandatory in schools because it promotes a healthy lifestyle for youth children.
Research states “Obesity is common, serious and costly” (mantel 1). Obesity can affect anybody of any age. If schools do not require children to participate in physical education classes, they could face obesity and all of the horrible disease that come with obesity. Center for Disease Control and Prevention director Thomas Frieden said “If we don’t, more people will get sick and die from obesity-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer”(Mantel 1). This states some of the horrible diseases and the serious effect of death that can come from obesity.
Research from an article called “Physical fitness” by Marc Leepson suggests that physical education provides a great opportunity for children to take part in physical exercises which is a good motivation for better health. Studies show that the more you exercise it will help prevent heart disease which is number one on the nations cause of death list. Children can prevent themselves from heart disease and obesity by just participating in Physical education classes. Which allow children to get out of a chair in a class room and go out or to the gym to run around or play basketball or do pushups or sit-ups.
