    The reason to include sports in students is plainly brain-chemicals. You need some brain-chemicals to read a book, u can't do this by being sedentary all day. Sedentarism for a whole day can deplete hormones, brain-chemicals which leads to monotony and lack of stimulation.
    Plato + Aristotle talked about *excess* of sports as the evil in some ancient-greeks. However they included *light* sports among students.
    Remember the ancient-greeks were more developed than we are today. Don't know why, but i suspect they were a lot smarter than most people u meet today ;-)
