The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence that middle school students' participation in physical education (PE) classes has on their physiological markers. The relevance of physical education in fostering general health and well-being among teenagers is brought to light by this aspect. Participating in physical education sessions on a consistent basis has been shown to improve a variety of aspects of health, including cardiovascular (p<0.05) and maximum oxygen consumption (p<0.05). In order to improve students' overall health and academic performance, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the value of physical education in middle school education.
