Social adjustment- Physical activities also provide opportunities of interaction
with others and participation in varied situations enabling them to learn social
qualities like sportsmanship, co-operation, honesty, friendship, fellowship,
courtesy, self-discipline and respect for authority which promote social adjustment

individual to realise her/his full potential and has self-expression and highest
Note satisfaction which facilitates his personal adjustment in life.

Character development- Group efforts, loyalty, dedication, discipline and
determination help to build a good character of the individual.

Physical Fitness- Physical education through scientific mode of exercise and
knowledge about one’s body and its requirement contribute immensely to physical
fitness. Systematic and scientific physical training helps to improve the physical
fitness of the individual.

Mental development- The physical activities not only help to improve the
physical development but also the mental development of the individual; For
example a badminton player is good in physical fitness, but smash comes from
mental development.

Neuro-muscular development- Through physical activities an individual learns
to co-ordinate the muscular and nervous systems. Neuro-muscular coordination
develops well only if various types of skills and exercises are done repeatedly
for a long period of time. A good neuromuscular coordination is indispensable
for learning skill.

Constructive use of leisure time- Physical education contributes to the
constructive use of leisure time. Parents are motivating their children to utilize
their leisure time in a particular manner so that a child doesn’t get the chance to
indulge in non-productive activities like roaming, or wasting time.

Economic value- Nowadays sports have become commercial. Each and every
game is organising its own professional league, which not only helps to promote
the game, but also helps to improve the financial position of the player, which
ultimately improves the career opportunities in sports.
