Physical Fitness & Health

Many research studies show the positive influences of physical fitness on physical and mental health, self-esteem, and learning. Physical fitness promotes self-confidence, enhances learning, and is society’s wise investment in the future. Emphasis on academic achievement produces knowledgeable individuals. However, an educated mind cannot repay society’s investment when that mind resides in a body poorly prepared for a long, productive, and healthy life. Society's investment in education yields maximum returns only when there is a sound mind in a healthy body.
