Abstract

The benefits of Physical Education on Indian schoolchildren's grades are the subject of this study. The purpose of this article is to conduct a literature study and offer an in-depth examination of the effect that physical education has on student performance in the classroom. This study reviews the research on the correlation between physical activity and academic achievement, and it discusses the possible processes through which physical education might enhance academic achievements. According to the review, physical education may boost students' performance in all subjects, but especially in the harder ones like math, science, and language. Implications for educational policy and practice in the realm of physical exercise are discussed as the study draws to a close.
