Physical Education

Physical education comprises two words: “physical” means body, and “education” implies behavior modification, which is why it means knowledge through physical activities. It aims at the integral development of human beings through participation in various sports and sports activities. Modern physical education began in Germany in the 18th century. While physical education was an integral part of the school curriculum, many changes have occurred since then, and many aspects have emerged over time. We will study more about it in CBSE Class 12 Physical Education.

Physical education has been defined in various ways by experts and institutes in this field. “Physical education is that stage of education related to the activities of the large muscles and the reactions to them.” “Physical education is that stage of education which, first of all, is accompanied by the institution and leadership of children, in large muscular activities, to achieve the development and adjustment of activities to conform to social standards.” And second, control of health or developmental conditions is inherently associated with the leadership of activities so that the educational process proceeds without development constraints. CBSE has made Physical Education as a subject in Class 11 and Class 12.

Opportunities in the field of physical education were only till 1990 for teaching and training. Due to the increasing interest in training and a growing number of activities, there are ample employment opportunities for physical education people. There are two career options in physical education. One is related to the teaching and training of physical education, which are also called traditional races. The second type is related to careers related to health, management, sports performance, and media.
