Ref: Abolishment of Sport in schools

A new government is in power, and it is of the opinion that sport as a discipline in schools should be abolished. The new government could be new in power but certainly not new to the pivotal role that sport plays not only in the growth and development of the body but also in the social skills and intellectual development of the whole being. Sport is not just to play and walk away, but it is a lifestyle. It is certainly not new to the government that sports keep the participants fit, active, and healthy among other attributes.

New statistics reveal that younger and younger people are falling victims to lifestyle diseases that were in the past a reserve for the aged. According to the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney diseases one-third of the children aged below the age of 12 years are considered to be obese.

Beyond any reasonable doubt years and years of research in science and nutrition have continued to prove that exercises are an essential part of remaining fit and healthy. Primarily the significance of physical exercises come into play whenever there is the thought of good health and staying fit. They say that all work without play makes Jim a dull boy. Therefore for students to work all day and not be afforded the chance to spend some time working out or engaging in some sport is rather cumbersome and unhealthy. There is a need for the students to take part in physical activities to remain fit and healthy. The human body is designed to form its energy from the food that we take in via various metabolic reaction and the
