Physical education is the process that uses physical activity as a means to help people acquire skills, health, fitness, knowledge and attitudes that contribute to their optimal development and wellbeing. It plays an important role in the development of an individual just as a school room education does. It can introduce young people to skills such as teamwork, self-discipline, sportsmanship, leadership and socialisation. Hence, it is important that physical education be incorporated along with a student's curriculum.
The Encyclopaedia on Health and Physical Education, containing five volumes, provides comprehensive and authentic information of all key issues in the field of health, physical education and sports. It takes a positive, light hearted, and realistic approach to promoting physical education as a way for living a life of health and fitness. This work will be highly useful for physical educators, coaches, athletes, students and teachers of physical education and sports. |
