Abstract

The study was conducted to explain how physical health affects the performance of the students at secondary level in district Jhelum. The study would help the heads of the secondary schools to schedule their programs for providing physical education to the students, so that they can achieve good results in the academic achievements of the students. The study is also beneficial for the future researchers who wish to get good academic results from the students at the secondary level and also can remove the hurdles that affect the improvement of the quality education.

All students of government secondary schools of Punjab constituted the population of the study. The study was delimited to the students of government secondary schools in district Jhelum. The study was further delimited to the students of 10th class of government comprehensive boys’ high school Jhelum. Forty students of 10th class were taken as sample of the study. Pre-test and Post-test were used as instruments of the study. Pre-test was used to make the two groups i.e., experimental and control group for finding the effect of physical health on the performance of the 10th class students. Data obtained from the Pre-test and Post-test was then presented in tabular form for the purpose of interpretation. Data was manipulated with the help of appropriate statistical tools like; means, standard deviations, and difference of the means was computed for each group. On the basis of the results obtained from the pre-test and the post-test, problems were highlighted and appropriate suggestions were given to meet the future challenges.

Key Points: Physical, Achievements, Comprehensive, Enhancement, Quality

INTRODUCTION

Research on teaching physical education has focused on the relationship of class organization and student engagement time-variables with achievement. Class time was described in three measures: a) allocated time; the time the teacher plans for students to be engaged in motor activities, b) engaged time; the time a student is actually physically engaged in the activities, and c) academic learning time (ALT); the portion of engaged time a student is involved in motor activity at an appropriate success rate (Parker, 1989). The lost time among the three measures is defined ‘funnel effect’ and reflects ‘how’ the teacher organizes the lesson time and designs appropriate activities for the students (Siedentop, 1991).
