Why is sport in school that important?

Nowadays, sport in school is increasingly becoming more relevant, and important. Children and adolescents are increasingly suffering from a lack of exercise which oftentimes results in obesity, a lack of concentration, or social incompentence due to social change. Therefore, physical education in school is often the only possibility that children and adolescents have, in order to introduce them to all of the different facets that sport in itself contains.  It allows them to recoup from "learning" and everyday life that school brings with it as well as getting rid of superfluous amounts of energy.  Consequently, the GBS, offers pupils or students an athletics program in all of the types of schooling which is available at our school and integrates sport within each class schedule!
