Physical Fitness Programs -Beyond Sports
While sports have universal appeal, and schools should encourage all those interested to play sports, it is a well-known fact that only a tiny fraction of students who play sports in school actually continue to pursue sports as a physical activity after school. Beyond this problem, it is also important to remember that only a small percentage of a school's total population can participate in its sports teams. As for the rest of the students? The lack of a sustainable physical fitness regimen is not only a health problem, but it also has direct ramifications on the academic performance of students and their mental health and overall well-being. The way to attack the problem is to develop physical fitness programs in school that students can continue to utilize throughout their life.
