Today machine do more and more of the work that our muscles used to do. As a result, the body development of many modern people is far below it should be. Most schools all over the world today stress the development of physical fitness. Students are helped to improve strength, balance, agility, posture, endurance, speed, and accuracy.
It is true that physical fitness depends greatly upon exercise, but nutrition, sleep, rest and good health habits are also important. Physical education programmes in schools, therefore, emphasize the learning of good health habits as well as provide opportunities for physical activities.
During the 20th century, a longer life span and decrease in length of the workweek have brought an increase in leisure time for many people. Some physical education programmes have been changed to include leisure time activities or sports. Games, such as tennis, bowling, basketball give people the opportunity to play a game regardless of their age.
Present-day physical education activities include individual sports, team sports and rhythmical activities .
