Physical Education: Required or optional?

Prolog

This texts answers to a prompt within Barron's Essential word for the IELTS Student's book, which I'm carefully learning from. I invite you to share comments.

Physical Education: Required or optional?

Physical Education is a subject that has been overlooked as it has happened with other school programs such as music and arts. Having sports or gymnastics at school will gainfully add to students' psychosomatic health and social skills; making it a mandatory field of learning.

It is well known that those students who practice a sport are more willing to eagerly learn  other subjects. Pupils who don't work out, tend to get deeper into a sedentary life which would possibly result in chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, nervous breakdowns, and so on.

Mental health is another factor to look at. Playing a sport enriches students' goals and life style; challenges them to improve on their skills and to look after being the best; and teaches them how to cope with stress and frustration.

All the ones before will also build upon alumni social skills. Team working, as important as it is, will be the first one. Students will be able to cooperate one to another recognizing their role within the team as well as the hierarchy that is established in every sport and every social environment.

As a conclusion, schools shouldn't ignore the hugely important outcomes of physical education. It should be fundamental as it upgrades students' health and life style.
