Abstract
Physical Education (PE) and sports play a vital role in education, contributing significantly to the holistic development and well-being of students. This article explores the multifaceted benefits of PE and sports within educational contexts, encompassing physical health, mental well-being, social skills development, academic achievement, and character building. By examining the theoretical underpinnings, pedagogical approaches, and empirical evidence supporting the integration of PE and sports into educational curricula, this article aims to underscore the importance of fostering active lifestyles and physical literacy among students.
