Physical education is important for health since staying active means keeping your
body functioning at a good level of movement. Regular exercise will improve the
functioning of your lungs and heart to more efficiently burn excess calories
ingested and keep your weight under control. Additionally, exercise will also
improve your muscle strength, increase your joint flexibility, and improve your
endurance.
On the other hand, physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, the main
cause of death in most developed countries. It also helps reduce the risk of stroke,
colon cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Thus, regular exercise benefits all
those people who are reluctant to go to the doctor, reducing the number of visits
and helping to prevent hospitalization and the use of medications.
Sport is a regulated activity, normally of a competitive nature and that can improve
the physical condition of those who practice it, and also has properties that
