How to Get the Most Out of Physical Education at School�By Dt. Sheela Seharawat
"Healthy bodies fuel healthy minds—fitness isn't just for athletes, it's a foundation for life."�— Dt. Sheela Seharawat, Founder & Mentor, Diet Clinic
In today’s digital era, children are increasingly glued to screens and losing touch with physical activity. Physical education (PE) in schools is not just a subject—it’s a golden opportunity to build lifelong habits of wellness, strength, and discipline.
To truly benefit from PE, students need more than just participation—they need engagement. That starts with understanding the why behind each activity. PE enhances cardiovascular health, builds stamina, boosts mental focus, and even improves academic performance by releasing endorphins—natural mood boosters.
Encouraging children to explore various sports and exercises during PE classes helps them find activities they enjoy, which increases consistency. Let them discover if they love running, yoga, football, or dance—what matters is movement with joy. When enjoyment meets effort, results follow naturally.
Nutrition also plays a key role in maximizing the effects of physical education. A balanced diet with adequate hydration ensures energy, quicker recovery, and enhanced performance. At Diet Clinic, we often guide school-going children and their parents on creating meal plans that support an active lifestyle. Small changes—like starting the day with a protein-rich breakfast or having fruits post-exercise—can amplify PE benefits immensely.
Lastly, it’s important that schools create a positive environment. Physical education should never be about competition or comparison but about building confidence, resilience, and healthy routines.
Parents, too, should reinforce the importance of PE by being role models and encouraging physical activity outside the classroom. A healthy home is the best extension of school-based physical education.
