Benefits of physical and sports practice

    The PE teacher will be responsible for creating in our students the habits mentioned in the previous article, this training is essential for students to achieve the objectives sought.

  The sports physical activity provides a range of benefits to our students, the first and most obvious, refers to beneficial habits that have to do with health. Then we will analyze how physical activity affects their health and provides effects in different organs and systems:

  Physical activity influences on health:

1.- ON THE LOCOMOTIVE:
- Increase muscle mass (greater force).
- Increased amount of tendons and ligaments (higher tensile strength).
- Increased coordination and joint mobility.
- Delay muscle fatigue.
- Strengthening of the bone structure.
- Prevents atrophy and obesity.

2.- ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM:
- Increases the cardiac cavity, ie the size of the heart.
- It thickens and strengthens the heart wall.
- Decreases resting heart rate.
- Improves blood supply.
- Reduces the risk of heart disease.

3.- ON THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:
- Breathing broader, deeper and faster.
- Lungs especially the alveoli become dilated.
- Increases Vital Capacity (High respiration).
- Increased perfusion capacity. (The air travels more lung space).
- Increased Lung Capacity (Improve inspiration and expiration).
- Increase the efficiency of the respiratory muscles.
- Improve oxygen uptake and CO2 elimination.

4.- THE NERVOUS SYSTEM:
- The Vegetative Nervous System: There is a balance between the sympathetic (accelerator) and parasympathetic (Restrainer), reducing levels of anxiety and aggression, promoting vital functions.
- The Central Nervous System: There is a progressive decrease in the effort required to perform physical activity. Improving the gestures, movements, ultimately there is an automation of the year.

5.- OTHER EFFECTS:
- On the endocrine system, improving the stimulation of hormones.
- Social and psychological effects, increases self-esteem, motivation, reduce stress and so on.
- Improvement in overall metabolic functioning.

  All of these health effects do not stop being an orientation, which aim to improve and even less in the primary stage but obviously if we work indirectly.

  Primary work in a general way, without being our main objective to improve the physical condition of our students.
