Role of Physical Education, Sports for Fitness, Health and Wellness

Fitness plays a critical role in our overall health today, most of the health disorders are a result of an unfit body and bad food habits.  Problems like body ache and muscular pain are the most common consequences of sloth lifestyle.  Inadequate exercise leads to weight gain and obesity.  Living healthier life can not only extend our life, it can also improve the quality.  Feeling physically better and having control over our own life can greatly increase our mental health as well.  Although there are some aspects of physical and mental health that are beyond an individual’s (and science’s) control, there are many things that people can do to improve their quality of life. Good health has traditionally been viewed as freedom from disease; thus, if we not sick, were considered healthy.  This perspective is changing.  While everyone agrees that the absence of illness is one part of being healthy, it doesn’t indicate whether we are in a state of well-being.  Lack of physical activity is mainly responsible for much health complication in children and youngsters.  To prevent these health troubles, a proper fitness is essential for everyone.  Fitness should be a key component in anybody’s life simply for the fact that it makes you feel better. Wellness, as a state of health, is closely associated with our lifestyle.  Each person has a responsibility to provide for such health essentials as good nutrition, proper weight control, exercise, and controlling of risk factor such as smoking, alcohol and drug abuse.
