Educational systems all over
the world have incorporated Physical Education in the curriculum where
instructors allow students to learn physical activities and involving them in
various sports. The aim is to simply let students acquire knowledge and skills
such as values and enthusiasm to maintain a healthy lifestyle up to their old
age.
Physical education can also promote team play. Working as part of a team is
always encouraged to make the students competitive. The most common activities
are gymnastics, sports, aerobics, dance, and martial arts. These activities only
give the students minimum exposure to the matter and the students have to choose
their own activities to suit their lifestyle.
