IT IS necessary to develop your muscle to some extent. However, the development of a sound, well-functioning body with a balanced musculature is ideal from the physiological standpoint. That must be the goal of physical education.

If there is nothing useful to be gained in the course of doing it, physical education has little value.

However, in this age where the human brain has been rapidly developing, young people do not participate in physical education like it was practiced before, unless it offers something of interest to them.

A good example to prove such is the attendance of students in a physical education class, purposely because of their grades but never have they mastered a sport or perhaps a game. The bottom line is that few youngsters are interested in physical education.

Because of the lack of participation in physical education, competition became an emphasis, thus young people are always engrossed in competition, likewise they compete with the idea to win without any qualms about developing an unbalanced musculature, meaning developing muscles particularly for the sport and neglecting other muscle parts to develop.

In their incessant drive to win, they abuse their bodies and cause themselves injuries. This has become an all-too-common occurrence.
