PRINCIPLES AND HISTORY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Author: Dr. Balbinder Singh

The word physical refers to the body and indicates bodily characteristics such as strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, health coordination, and performance. It - seemingly contrasts the body with the mind. The term education when used in conjunction with physical, refers to a process of education that develops the human body, especially fitness and movement skills. Therefore, it transcends all misconceptions and misgivings about physical education as a field of teaching and being considered an ingredient of general education.
