Exercise helps the body become healthy and fit. The movement coming from physical 
exertion due to exercise promotes circulation of blood to all parts of the body, thus, 
enhances the distribution of nutrients from different parts of the body and also it promotes 
oxygenation of the cells and burning of unwanted fats resulting to vigor and stamina. Also, 
exercise help prevent diseases and sickness like, heart attack, lung diseases and obesity. 
Furthermore, exercise develops camaraderie and sportsmanship among student. This is 
specially when they play as a team. Students are able to identify their worth in a team and 
are able to develop their ability to work with a team to be able to reach their common goal 
that is to defeat their opponent and come out victorious. They develop friendship with 
various people because they get to play with other people most of the time, thus, 
improving the social aspect of their personality. Students become extrovert and active as I 
observed if they continuously join sports and other form of exercises. 
Lastly, This is a good investment in their personality, as they grow up because exercise 
and sports teach them to become disciplined, patient and friendly. Most of all they become 
result oriented with their work as they see to it that they persevere in every field that they 
get into. When they grow up to be come matured individuals, it will not be hard for them 
to deal with other people and they will always see to it that they put their hearts and minds 
in everything that they do, as what they have learned in sports while they were still young. 
While it is true that academic subjects should be put into priority, I still believe that 
physical exercise in school should be given the same importance, because it helps develop 
the emotional, social and physical aspect of a student, preparing him to become a great 
individual in the future.
