Introduction

Physical education also known as  PE, gym, or gym class, and in


some Commonwealth countries as physical training or PT, is a class that pupils
are required to take at school.
Physical fitness refers to the ability of your body systems to work together
efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living.
Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works
during exercise, and how sport and physical activity promote health and
performance from cellular to whole body perspectives. 

Objective
It’s all about creating awareness to the community and to engage them into
sport exercise.

Main topic
What is
Physical education?
It is taken during primary and secondary education and
encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration setting to
promote health.

In addition, physical literacy is a 21st-century term that first emerged in the


sport literature before also being applied to physical education. The concept of
physical literacy covers a variety of conditions for a student. Whether it is
motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding
for student. Teachers implement these different concepts into their lesson
plans to teach and develop students accordingly and appropriately for their
individual success and education.
Whether the class produces positive effects on students' health, behavior, and
academic performance depends upon the kind of program that is
taught. Physical Education programs vary all over the world. However, there
are worldwide organizations that allow for a better understanding on how
much exercise a child should be getting daily. Popular games in PE include
football, netball, hockey, rounders, athletics and cricket.

Many physical education classes utilize technology to assist their pupils in


effective exercise. One of the most affordable and popular tools is a simple
video recorder. With this, students can see the mistakes they're making in
things such as a throwing motion or swinging form Studies show that students
find this more effective than having someone try to explain what they are
doing wrong, and then trying to correct it. Educators may use technologies
such as pedometers and heart rate monitors to make step and heart rate goals
for students.
Other technologies that can be used in a Physical Education setting
include video projectors, GPS and games and gaming systems such
as Kinect, Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution. Projectors can show students
proper form or how to play certain games. GPS systems can be used to get
students active in an outdoor setting, and active exergames can be used by
teachers to show students a good way to stay fit in and out of the classroom
setting. Simulators are an efficient way to help promote being active in certain
settings. Along with video projectors, GPS and game systems such as Kinect
and Wii, simulators where the participant is using goggles to be put in a certain
setting are beneficial. One method commonly used in the elderly that could
benefit children would be a horse-riding simulator. This simulator allows the
participant to be put into a country setting where they are free to roam
multiple fields. This simulator is scientifically proven to help balance as well as
stability. Relaxing the brain allows for better cognitive function leads to better
test results in the classroom as well.
Another type of technology that is commonly used in Physical Education is the
pedometer. This does not necessarily track how far a person is going, but lets
them know the number of steps they are taking.

What is Physical fitness?


Fitness is defined as the quality or state of being fit and healthy. Around 1950,
perhaps consistent with the Industrial Revolution and the treatise of World War II, the
term "fitness" increased in western vernacular by a factor of ten. The modern
definition of fitness describes either a person or machine's ability to perform a
specific function or a holistic definition of human adaptability to cope with various
situations. This has led to an interrelation of human fitness and attractiveness that
has mobilized global fitness and fitness equipment industries. Regarding specific
function, fitness is attributed to persons who possess
significant aerobic or anaerobic ability, i.e. endurance or strength. A well-rounded
fitness program improves a person in all aspects of fitness compared to practicing
only one, such as only cardio/respiratory endurance or only weight training.
A comprehensive fitness program tailored to an individual typically focuses on one or
more specific skills, and on age or health-related needs such as bone health.[9] Many
sources also cite mental, social and emotional health as an important part of overall
fitness. This is often presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three points,
which represent physical, emotional, and mental fitness. Physical fitness can also
prevent or treat many chronic health conditions brought on by unhealthy lifestyle or
aging. Working out can also help some people sleep better and possibly alleviate
some mood disorders in certain individuals.
Developing research has demonstrated that many of the benefits of exercise are
mediated through the role of skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ. That is,
contracting muscles release multiple substances known as myokines, which promote
the growth of new tissue, tissue repair, and various anti-inflammatory functions,
which in turn reduce the risk of developing various inflammatory diseases.
What is sport science?
The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology (exercise
physiology), psychology (sport psychology), anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry,
and biokinetics. Sports scientists and performance consultants are growing in demand and
employment numbers, with the ever-increasing focus within the sporting world on achieving
the best results possible. Through the scientific study of sport, researchers have developed a
greater understanding on how the human body reacts to exercise, training, different
environments and many other stimuli. Higher-education degrees in Sports Science or Human
Physiology are also becoming increasingly popular with many universities now offering both
undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning degrees in the discipline. Opportunities
for graduates in these fields include employment as a Physical Education
teacher, Dietician or Nutritionist, Performance Analyst, Sports coach, Sports therapist, Fitness
center manager, Sports administrator, Strength and Conditioning specialist or retail manager
of a Sports store. Graduates may also be well-positioned to undertake further training to
become an accredited Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Research Scientist and Sports
Medical Doctor.
