SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES OF KASHMIR UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL STUDENTS

The present research indicates that the social and physical environment have high influence on students participation in physical activities in Business Schools. As we aware, the schools are well placed to promote health and physical activity behaviors because of the amount of time students spend in this environment and the elements of the school curriculum that are adaptable to include such content. However, barriers experienced by teachers and students and those imposed by the school as an institution are increasingly impacting on the role that physical education plays within schools. The present study has identified both institutional and individual related factors as few of the major barrier in imparting proper physical education. The result of the present study also has implications in relation to business school management. One of the major stakeholders of this research is the business school management. The business school management is the stakeholder who will make provision of appropriate physical and social environment to the students. The infrastructure of the business school should be sufficient enough to bring healthy life style to the students studying there. Better the infrastructure in relation to physical education higher the students interest to participate in the physical exercise activities.
