Abstract

The present investigation investigates how physical education affects students' general well-being, personal growth, and academic accomplishment. The research finds strong relationships among physical education and numerous facets of student development by carefully examining important factors like academic achievement, physical fitness, intellectual ability, interpersonal abilities, and behavioral results. With correlation coefficients of 0.72 and 0.68, accordingly, the results show a substantial positive association between academic accomplishment, problem-solving abilities, and cognitive performance. A correlation of 0.65 indicates that there is a substantial positive relationship between physical fitness levels and academic achievement. The research goes on to emphasize the value of interpersonal abilities and educational enthusiasm, both of which are important for students' educational success and personal growth. Less strong connections have been identified between behavioral results and self-esteem, indicating that although these aspects are significant, their impact on academic success may be less than that of cognitive and ability to solve problems. These findings provide beneficial data for educators and policymakers by highlighting the necessity of an all-encompassing approach that incorporates physical learning with additional strategies for psychological and behavioral growth in order to support well-rounded student advancement.
