The athletic teams are an integral part of the overall education of a total person. Athletics provide leadership opportunities and the experiences of team play, cooperative effort, commitment and individual sacrifice for goals that some may or may not be able to achieve. Athletics play a big part of every midshipman's life at the Naval Academy. Culture of Fitness Physical activity helps in keeping the body’s metabolism – the rate the body burns calories) working effectively. As one ages, the body’s metabolism naturally decreases. Participating in a regular exercise program assists the body in maintaining a higher metabolic rate. Calories are burned more effectively, and extra weight gain normally incurred as one ages is minimized. Why do Sailors exercise? Sailors interviewed world-wide repeatedly said that exercise decreases stress; increases energy level; helps them feel better, look better, and sleep better; reduces their body fat; and improves how they feel about themselves.
