an individual through the development of the various organic systems of the body. Physical exercise is a
very important part of life to keep us fit and healthy into our old age. If physical activities are incorporated
into the lives of people from a young age, it is much more likely they will carry it on when they get older.
People need to develop physically by developing muscles, by toning and strengthening them and also
develop cardiovascular fitness for healthy heart and lungs.

physical education can be a form of therapy for individuals. Using up unused energy can help release
stress and tension. The sense of achievement after completing a physical education session can also boost
self-esteem; particularly after performing well in competitions or simply reaching a personal goal.

Mental development is also known as cognitive development. It is basically the construction of mind
activity such as thought processes, memory, problem solving and decision making as well as overall
intelligence. Cognitive development is the name given to the area of study in neuroscience and

develop bonds with others; particularly whilst participating in team sports. The act of working together as
part of a team and using team mates as a support network both on and off the field helps people develop
socially and form friendships with like-minded individuals.
