Concept of Physical Education

Physical education, also known as Phys Ed., PE and in

some Commonwealth countries as physical training or PT, is
a class that pupils are required to take at school. 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 its 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.[4] 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.
