Abstract

Physical training is important in today's society. Only physical activity can help people live healthier and better lives. Today there are fresh and new illnesses that have caused great damage to the human body. The life of man has become medically reliant. E.g. digest medication, excretion medicine, sleep medicine, etc. As a result, man is now like a walking robot because of these medications. Is it acceptable to squander this kind of physique in such a condition? How terrible it is that people have a while to repair technology like as cars, freezes, TV, but they have no time to care for their precious bodies. Physical training allows people to properly live their daily lives. Physical education plays a major part in the development of the human being and helps to improve physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual life. Here the author wishes to convey to our contemporary lives the significance of physical education.
