Student Attitude toward Physical Activities

Introduction

Physical Activity has different interpretations to it and different people tend to attach different connotations to it. However, physical activity is undeniably an important aspect of an individual's life and people of different age group tends to attach different advantages to it. In today's world where we tend to compete at a very brisk pace physical activity provides us the way to look after our physical health along with the mental health. Physical activity can decrease the risk of different diseases such as obesity, heart diseases, diabetes and high blood pressure. However, diseases in today's world in not limited to any age group. The importance of physical activity tends to enhance for the students since it tends to shape up their minds and allows them to explore new ideas.

This limits the growth of an individual irrespective of which field he or she tends to belong to. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to gauge the student's attitude towards the physical activity so that the traits of their character can be analyzed. Plus the strength of the factors needs to be gauged which has allowed the students to break away from the whole idea of physical activity.
