PHYSICAL EDUCATION:
Its Value to the
Development and
Adjustment of the
Individual
Ms. Chani O. Pilarte - Instructor
In most educational systems, Physical
education (PE), also called Physical
Training (PT) or gym, though each
with a very different connotation, is a
course in the curriculum which utilizes
learning in the cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domains in a play or
movement exploration setting.
Physical Education has existed since the
earliest stages of humanity, in areas as
simple as the transmission of knowledge of
basic survival skills, such as hunting.

The first known literary reference to


an athletic competition is preserved in
ancient Greek text, the Iliad, by
Homer.
While by no means is this the beginning of
physical activity, it marks an important point
in the study of the history of physical education.
Other cultures that existed before the Greeks,
including the ancient Chinese, Indian, and
Egyptian civilizations had traditions of
physical education and activity, but Greek
influence is argued to be the most
fundamental to how the discipline is viewed
today.
The ancient Greek tradition of the
Olympic Games, which originated in the
early 8th century BC, even continues
today.
Father of modern Physical Education that
we know today is FRIEDRICH LUDWIG JAHN
- He was highly political within Germany, his
contributions to Physical Education (mostly
in Gymnastics) as a discipline are still seen
today.
