Physical activity assists students in maintaining a healthy weight, developing strong muscles and bones, and improving cardiovascular fitness while reducing the risk of chronic diseases, diabetes, and heart disease from a very early age. Physical activity also has mental health benefits, as science proves that it releases endorphins in the body, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression; improve cognitive functions; enhance concentration; and boost academic performance.
