What is Physical Education?

Physical Education (PE) is the interdisciplinary study of all areas of

science relating to the transmission of physical knowledge and skills to an
individual or a group, the application of these skills, and their results.

Physical Education is an important segment of general education which aims

to contribute to the total development of the learner through participation in selected
activities. It provides opportunities to acquire lifelong skills that are essential to
his physical, mental, social and emotional development.

It can also be viewed as a program of activities in a school curriculum that

involves sports, games, dance, gymnastics, and recreational activities.
