Some high schools require students to pass a physical fitness exam, in which they are tested on their ability to perform certain physical activities, such as running and swimming, in order to graduate. Do you think this is a good idea? Explain why or why not. Support your opinion with specific details and examples.
It is my firm belief that students in secondary schools should be required to complete a physical fitness assessment before graduating. This requirement not only serves as an important technique for assessing students' physical health, but it also encourages them to live an active and healthy lifestyle.
To begin, frequent exercise is crucial for healthy health. According to a World Health Organization report, more than 80% of adolescents globally are insufficiently physically active. By requiring pupils to pass a physical fitness exam, schools can discover health problems and help students to establish healthy habits that they will carry with them throughout their lives. Running and swimming, for example, are both excellent cardiovascular exercises that can help avoid heart disease and other disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 35%, stroke by 25%, and type 2 diabetes by 50%. Physical fitness exams can assist students in identifying areas of health vulnerability and encouraging them to take actions to enhance their overall physical fitness.
Physical fitness can also help with academic achievement. Regular exercise has been shown to increase cognitive function and memory, as well as promote improved sleep quality. For example, the National Institutes of Health discovered that students who exercised on a regular basis had higher grade point averages than those who were sedentary. Physical activity can also help to alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, which can impair academic performance. Endorphins, which helps to improve mood and reduce stress, are released into the brain as physical activity increases. Students can thus improve their focus and motivation by incorporating regular exercise into their daily routine, leading to higher academic achievements.
Undoubtedly, the implementation of physical fitness assessments should be done with care and consideration. Schools should modify testing standards and procedures to accommodate students with varying physical ability. Furthermore, schools should provide coaching and additional opportunities for kids who are having difficulty passing the test, as well as resources to help them improve their physical fitness. According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Education, increasing physical activity chances during the school day can result in a 32% increase in students' physical activity levels. Schools should also provide a variety of physical education classes and facilities to assist students in discovering activities that they enjoy and are likely to continue doing after graduation.
In conclusion, requiring students to complete a physical fitness assessment before graduation can boost both their physical and mental health, as well as their academic achievement.
