Four objectives of physical education are improved physical fitness, appreciation of physical activity,
sportsmanship development and improved social skills.
Improved Physical Fitness Physical activity can help prevent an early death and reduce the risk of health
issues like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, falls and certain types of cancer. Children
who are exposed to physical education tend to be more active, which helps set them up for a lifetime of
good physical health.
Appreciation of Physical Activity Physical education encourages an appreciation of physical activity in
all children, even those who don’t fit into those categories. Quality education teaches young minds that
physical activity is beneficial in many ways.
Sportsmanship Development Physical education can help teach sportsmanship, teamwork and
cooperation with other people. Those who participate in physical education learn to respect personal spac
as well as other people’s abilities. They also learn to work together to reach a common goal and how to
follow rules for fair play with other people.
Improved Social Skills Not only does physical education teach students how to be good sports, but it can
also lead to improved social skills. Interpersonal skills learned in a gym or on a field often translate into
other aspects of life, improving social skills in the classroom, at work, within families, within communities
and in other recreational settings. Students may learn how to negotiate better, they may communicate
better, they may take leadership roles and they’ll have the ability to resolve conflicts in a fair manner.
