ABSTRACT

The integration of physical fitness and bodybuilding education into school curriculum has gained significant attention as a crucial element of holistic education. This comprehensive analysis aims to examine the implications, challenges, and benefits of incorporating bodybuilding principles alongside traditional physical fitness instruction in school settings. By doing so, it will contribute to a more holistic and well-rounded approach to physical education in the school curriculum. This integration seeks to foster a generation of students who are not only physically fit but also possess a profound understanding of bodybuilding principles and their significance in attaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
