Anon goes to PE class
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I mean, it's well understood that there's a host of health benefits from regular exercise, and it's also pretty well established that habits built during youth tend to be the most 'sticky' that we continue for the rest of our lives.
Given these two facts, I suspect that there are in fact studies that show those who participate in regular exercise programs during their school years are more likely to maintain a higher level of fitness and gain the derived health benefits.
That said, it's likely a small but statistically significant increase, not a massive easily observable difference.
Honestly, I doubt the benefits you describe are outweighed by the number of people who learn to associate fitness with shame and humiliation as a result of how PE is taught.
Wed be a million times better off if we normalized having a 15 minute dance party at the start, middle and the end of the day.
