Abstract
The World Health Organization report of 2018 claimed that non-communicable diseases such
as chronic respiratory illnesses, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders are becoming more
pervasive. They contend that the problem emanates from certain lifestyle choices, such as
smoking, being physically inactive, and eating poorly. Globally, it is estimated that 1.9 million
people die each year because of physical inactivity. People who do not meet the recommended
minimum levels of physical exercise are up to 1.5 times more likely to develop a cardiovascular
disease. School Physical Education is regarded as the best medium through which children can
be encouraged to be physically active as well as introducing them to healthy lifestyle choices.
Every child has a right to participate in Physical Education, according to the UNESCO.
