Unit I

Physical Education is a vibrant and stimulating field. It’s action! It’s

motion! It’s movement! As human beings, we are cradled in movement from womb
to grave; movement insures our survival, makes us independent and contributes to
our overall health and well-being. Movement is essential in virtually every stage of
our lives. Watching a toddler progress from standing to walking to running, we
cheer each new motor achievement as the child grasps control of the body. We tend
to sympathize with the adolescent whose uneven growth spurts create awkward
movements with embarrassing outcomes. In a like manner, we empathize with a
declining grandparent who needs assistance descending a staircase. In each of those
examples, physical education can play a huge and decisive role. Through fitness
education, motor development and control, physical performance competencies,
and lifetime sporting activities, physical education not only improves one’s quality
of life but also puts life into one’s years. (Buck, 2004).

Physical education was introduced decades ago, as a way of keeping young

students fit, active, and healthy. Over the years, the methods of enforcing physical
education have drastically changed, with new forms of activity introduced into
schools. While physical education is usually practiced by primary and secondary
schools, certain universities and colleges have their own ways of introducing this
course.

Introduction
Many people see Physical Education as Physical Activity or Game. Physical Activity or
Game is only a subset of the entire Physical Education Curriculum, however, physical activity or
Game is the key foundation of a successful PE program. In today’s high tech society, a successful
Physical Education (PE) plays an important role in the physical growth and development of
students in fighting against the sedentary lifestyle brought towards us through the convenience
of new technology and devices. Through PE, students acquire the knowledge, skills, right
attitudes and values towards the pursuit of a lifelong physically active and healthy lifestyle. It also
provides an avenue for students to express themselves through movement and physical activity.
 Meaning of Physical Education

Physical Education came from the Latin words “physica,” which means “study of
nature”. Meaning ”pertaining to matter” is from 1590s; meaning “having to do with the body,
corporeal” is attested from 1780. Meaning “characterized by bodily attributes or activities” is
attested from 1970. Physical education first recorded 1838; abbreviated form phys ed is from
1955.(Etymonline.com)

Dr. Carmen Tabije Andin (1978) defined Physical Education as an integral part of the
educational program designed to promote the optimum development of an individual physically,
mentally, socially and emotionally through total body movement in the performance of properly
selected physical activities.
Physical Education program is designed such that all students are given the opportunity
to participate in a variety of physical activities such as sports and games and acquire the concepts
and skills that will enable them to participate in these sports and games both for leisure and
competition. In addition, PE provides a natural platform and valuable opportunities to develop
self-management skills, social and co-operative skills, and build character. It serves to
complement other educational areas in promoting the desired outcomes of education. In
particular, PE helps to cultivate healthy habits, teamwork, resilience, and high self-esteem.
Objectives of Physical Education
The Roman poet Juvenal likely did not have physical education objectives in mind when
he wrote the line "a sound mind in a sound body." But in true poetic fashion that one line sums
up the spectrum of goals and objectives for physical education.

Physical education is a course that is taken seriously in many countries all over the world,
where a lack of this vital subject may expose kids to the early consequences of an unhealthy
lifestyle, among other problems. Let's take a closer look at the objectives of physical education,
and how schools need to inculcate its importance in one's life.

The objectives of physical education are focused on the acquisition of those skills through
the following aspects of development: a) physical; b) mental; c) emotional; d) social; and e)
spiritual and moral. (Dimapilis, 2009)

a. Physical Development
Focus in on the attainment and development of physical skills which can increase
one’s capability to enjoy lifetime recreational pursuits. This is attained through regular
 exercises and participation in varied activities. Regular physical activity and good physical
fitness help enhance the quality of life in many ways.

b. Mental Development
Through physical education activities, learners acquire knowledge and understanding
of rules and strategies of the games, techniques in sports and dance instructions. Varied
activities in physical education help students develop their ability to analyze body
movements, skills and game situations.

c. Emotional Development
Physical Education activities provide opportunities for self-expression and emotional
mastery. People who have more positive balance of feelings which increases and develops
self-confidence, self-reliance and self-control. Positive character traits like courage and
discipline are most likely to become part of an individual’s life.

d. Social Development
Physical activity often promotes the opportunity to be with other people. Through
social experience, many appreciate the importance of physical education activities. Through
active participation, students develop positive and desirable traits like cooperation,
sportsmanship, friendliness, good leadership, respect for others and honesty in group
competition.

e. Spiritual and Moral Development

Physical education activities provide the development of inner-self and soul.
Experiencing these activities help students discover a personal meaning and purpose in life.
These also lead to the appreciation of what is good and beautiful.
