The popularity of physical education lessons has already been demonstrated my many (Hamar 2008, Neulinger 2009), however, it has also been revealed that this popularity, as well as the frequency of doing sports, tends to decrease at later ages of life (Perényi 2014). Introducing PE as an everyday lesson at schools was a milestone in physical education. Provided the aims are realised successfully, the general state of health of students can show a favourable change (Mikulán 2013). The aim of our research, on the one hand, is to reveal how important physical education is as contrasted with other school subjects, according to those students asked. On the other hand, we aim to examine how the certain positive and negative attitudes of the subjects of our study appear in the resulting figures.

The importance of physical education and sport in primary (Elementary) school2024 •
Aim and Scope: This paper analyzes the importance of physical education and sport in primary (elementary) school. Traditionally, physical education has been ascribed less value than other subject areas within an educational context. However, recent research has revealed that physical education plays a vital role in providing a well-rounded education. Physical education and sports are associated with a wide range of benefits. Firstly, physical education promotes overall physical and emotional health of primary school children. Additionally, physical education provides an opportunity for social growth and increased cultural competence among primary school children. Further, it fosters cognitive competence, leading to improved performance in examinations. Finally, physical education at the primary school level instills a positive lifestyle among students, encouraging them to adopt healthy habits throughout adulthood. In addition to these benefits, this paper delves into the pitfalls of taking children out of physical education during examination preparation, underscores the critical role of instructors in delivering physical education, and highlights the significance of having adequately trained and qualified educators in teaching physical education and sports lessons.
