Exercise should be a required part of every school day or not?

thanks kitos,

It should be admitted that students need physical activities in their daily life. Over the past few decades, there has been a growing interest among students to attend diverse teams, gyms, etc. This fact has caused very deep concerns among psychologists whether it is better for students to have sport courses in their curriculum, or they should spend the whole school day on academic studies. From my point of view, it is far more sensible for students to do sports at school.
In the first place, it is better to be mentioned that students become tired and frustrated of studying after a while. Doing physical exercises, many students become far from stresses and tensions of a daily life, which is mainly because physical activities have positive effects on their mental health. According to the latest studies conducted into this matter, students who have physical activities in their every school day, are more successful, and they can handle the obstacles which they are encounter in their education more convenient. The more students do exercise, the better they do in their studies.
Those people who are opposed to spending time on physical exercises at school, may argue that students go to school to spend their time on studying, and it is up to each student to take exercise outside the school. In my point of view, however, this attitude can be criticized from one perspective. Schools should be regarded not as a place for academic studies, but as a place to improve students’ abilities and health. As an example, when I was in high school, we did not have any sport courses. Consequently, we got bored and we could not concentrate on the materials which have been discussed in the class, which in turn contributed to our bad grades. If we had had physical activities, we would have done better in our studies.
To sum up, physical activities should be a required part of every school day, since it has some positive effects on students’ mental and physical health.
