1. What is Physical education?

Physical Education is "education through thephysical". It aims to develop

students' physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability
to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of
an active and healthy lifestyle.

2. What is the main purpose of physical education?

1) P.E. increases physical fitness. Our goal is to incorporate all components

(strength, flexibility, agility,cardiovascular endurance) of fitness into lessons throughout
the year.

2) P.E. nutures a natural love of moving. We do our best to make learning and
moving fun. We believe that this is the age where children really enjoy moving and
playing and it is our hope that this enthusiasm remains as they grow.

3) Everyday in P.E. classes students learn and practice basic locomoter(hopping,

skipping, running,ect.) manipulative(dribbling, kicking,throwing,ect.) and
nonmanipulative(balancing,twisting,rolling,ect.) skills ,as well as, a multitude of spacial
concepts(up,down,over/under,right/left,ect.).

4) P.E. helps create good citizens. Possibly the most important benefit of P.E. is the
teaching and reinforcement of all aspects of good citizenship. In every class
fairplay, responsibility , cooperation, sharing, honesty, and other virtues are strongly
stressed.

4 Types of Exercise
Exercise and physical activity fall into four basic categories—
endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Most people tend to focus on one activity
or type of exercise and think they’re doing enough. Each type is different, though. Doing
them all will give you more benefits. Mixing it up also helps to reduce boredom and cut
your risk of injury.

Some activities fit into more than one category. For example, many endurance
activities also build strength. Strength exercises can also help improve balance .

1. Endurance
Endurance, or aerobic, activities increase your breathing and heart rate. They keep your
heart, lungs, and circulatory system healthy and improve your overall fitness. Building
your endurance makes it easier to carry out many of your everyday activities.
Endurance exercises include:

 Brisk walking or jogging

 Yard work (mowing, raking, digging)
 Dancing

2. Strength
Strength exercises make your muscles stronger. They may help you stay independent
and carry out everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying groceries. These
exercises also are called “strength training” or “resistance training.” Strength exercises
include:

 Lifting weights
 Using a resistance band
 Using your own body weight
 3. Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults. Many lower-
body strength exercises will also improve your balance. Balance exercises include:

 Standing on one foot

 Heel-to-toe walk
