15 - Cassandra S: Physical Education's Importance

 


There are many teenagers in high school that complain about PE. They complain about it because it’s something that requires them to get up and move and they have to change into ugly uniforms in the smelly locker rooms. Even though it can be annoying, it actually has many benefits. In fact, PE is something that is important for teens as it has many physical benefits and it can give useful information.


Exercise can make you happier. The release of a certain chemical suppresses hormones that cause stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are something that is very common in high school as teens try to look their best and do their best academically and socially. Reducing stress and anxiety by exercising can definitely benefit teens and help them have a better high school experience. Because PE activity includes physical activities that are exercise, PE is important for teens for them to improve their mood.


In some cases, PE gives students useful information. For example, how to have better eating habits. During last year’s online school year, we were assigned to research how much from each food group our age group should be eating. Doing this research allowed us to know how healthy we were and give us an opportunity to change it if there was a food group that we were lacking a lot in. PE also gave us access to certain exercise routines that we wouldn’t have normally tried or thought about, and much more. Without PE teens wouldn’t have access to all of this information which would maybe cause them to be less healthy later in adulthood. This means that PE is important for teens to have.

  1. As a person that plays sports, i feel like p.e is being completely overshadowed. In all honestly, i only try in units that i’m really good in. If its not badminton or basketball you bet that i’m gonna be in the corner complaining. Though a lot of people hate it, i think that p.e is really beneficial especially for the people who really enjoy working out
