I am not sure there is any legal basis of physical education in schools, but PE is part of the school curriculum.

Research has shown students who participate in regular exercise have better attention spans and ability to concentrate, absorb & understand what it being taught, and can help them manage & cope with stress. And they are less likely to have major health issues associated with sedentary life style.

One of the major health issues today is obesity, which increases risks of Diabetes, strokes & cardiovascular vascular diseases, so schools are trying to teach students the importance of having good health, exercise & diet as part of PE.

I hope this was a reasonable answer.
