Sourav Ganguly, Sourabh Lahiri, Dr Atanu Das

Abstract :

Physical Education has a major role to play in the development of young people. It is an integral part of the total education of any child and is closely linked to other creative and learning experiences and skill acquisition. It makes a significant contribution to the all - round harmonious development of the mind and body. Physical education which is commonly a part of the curriculum at school level includes training in the development and care of the human body and maintaining physical fitness. Scientific evidence shows that loss of functional capacity and increased morbidity and mortality attributable to chronic disease and injury are associated with a sedentary lifestyle in students.

PETs play a big role in childhood, all the way from Kindergarten through 12th grade. PETs accomplish these both in and out of the classroom by a number of different approaches within the school community. Physical education not only gives children an opportunity to be active but it teaches them the skills they need to be active throughout their lifetime and develop wholesome personality. Physical education teachers try to stimulate and motivate interest in sport and help develop pupils‘ talents.
