Physical sports and fitness is not a new term, it had always been an important part of life. In ancient times of kings and queens, youths were trained up to their skills to make them fit for their state’s army. They were trained, since their childhoods, with all the sports and games from archery, wrestling to body building and athletics. They were trained professionally by best trainers of their areas. Youths were made fit so that they can take care of their family well and protect their presidencies.
With time changing, the way of training changed but the sports and fitness remained same. Till today the army officers at borders are trained with same traditional way but with new equipment and technologies.
