Health
Health is defined as
a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being, and not merely, the absence of disease or infirmity.
So a healthy person is: physically well mentally well socially happy
Fitness
Fitness is defined as the ability to meet the demands of the environment. Fitness is not necessarily about how far you can run or how good you are at sport. Being fit means being physically able to cope with the demands of everyday life.
These demands will vary from person to person, depending on things like lifestyle, occupation and age.

a form of physical activity done primarily to improve health and physical fitness. It is important to understand that exercise is not the same as sport. Exercise can be any physical activity, even just going for a short walk. Sport tends to be competitive in some way.

Sport can help you to develop good relationships and improve your confidence, communication and teamwork.
Participating in sport is a good way of meeting people and making new friends. You can develop transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork and cooperation. If you are good at sport, you may be able to make a career out of it, either as a competitor or in related fields like coaching.

PESSCL strategy
One way in which the government is trying to encourage participation in sport is through the Physical Education School Sport Club Links strategy. This scheme is supported by 459 million from central government. The aim of the PESSCL Strategy is to: enhance the take-up of sporting opportunities by five- to sixteen-year-olds by increasing the percentage of school children who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum from 25% in 2002 to 75% in 2006 and 85% by 2008.

PESSCL strategy
By 2010 the aim is to offer all students at least four hours of sport every week.
This will comprise of at least two hours of sport at school and the opportunity for at least a further 23 hours beyond the school day, delivered by a range of school, community and club providers. This will involve the forging of better links between schools and sports clubs.
It is hoped that these links will enable young people to try out new sports and feel comfortable in a club setting. As a result, they may be more likely to continue participating in sport after leaving school.
