Due to COVID-19 schools are closed. So online classes were held for almost 2 years. This causes set back in physical health condition of students. Some students can't even run slowly. Example: If a boy called S runs 100 metre in 18 seconds in class 4th, but after pandemic he runs 100 metre in 23 seconds. This causes selection in games, events etc. It affects the schools position in sports. Also schools are following some activities like: Keeping distance with others, not sharing foods with others, using sanitizers etc. If sports day is conducted in this situation then the school cannot follow these activities due to crowd. Students cannot adapt themselves to offline life after pandemic. Some schools started conducting sports events and tournaments which is the right time to re-intoduce the joy of sports for children.
An important aspect of physical education and sports day, which was lost during pandemic was the interaction between peers and healthy competition. Even parents cannot offer money for sports due to less earnings because of covid. Students mental health condition was disturbed due to concentrating only in studies. So schools were also in trouble.
Apart from organizing these sports events, the some schools started conducting physical health week. In this week they discuss about the the health routine and fitness. Students are give a food chart to make students fit from pandemic. This re-introduces the joy of sports to children. Some schools conducted PT classes in online to keep students mental health and psychological health condition of students at normal level. But organizing online PT classes not has a 100 percent benefit.
