Every student is encouraged to participate in ‘some form of’ physical activity. Its significance extends beyond the benefit of staying fit. It boosts students’ self-esteem and mental acuity. Not only does it empower youth and promote higher self-esteem, but it also motivates students and allows them to earn better grades, which is especially important in schools where certain grades are required to stay on the team. Maintaining a healthy weight, preventing chronic diseases, and learning the skills needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle after graduation are just a few of the many physical benefits.
