The Importance of Physical Activity

Schools are the best places to address inactivity. It’s vital to remember  that physical activity helps us to live longer and reduces the risk of  getting diseases.

Physical activity is not just good for your body. It is also good for your  mind, mood and quality of life. It can help you manage chronic  diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. It can also  improve your brain health, memory and reduces the risk of depression.

Involving students in the physical education activities in school can be  a bit challenging for the teachers, but the old saying says that  “it takes a village to raise a child” can motivate all school teachers and  parents to help PEMAC teachers familiarise students with the  importance of physical activities.

One of the most important part of school-based physical activity  promotion is physical education. This needs to be properly and  thoroughly addressed at school level.
