WHAT IS PHYSICAL EDUCATION? Back then it was described as education of the physical meaning learners used to drill and stretch. but now it is described as education through physical activities as it refers to education through movements- move to learn/ learn to move. it is a planned, sequential instruction that promotes lifelong physical activity. It is designed to develop basic movement skills, sports skills and physical fitness; as well as to enhance mental, social and emotional abilities (Jude, 2020). Physical education is a technique of education to aid the holistic development of a learner through motor skills and fitness (Elias&Cairo, 2015) . We can say it is the ART OF POSITIVE LIVING !
IMPORTANCE OF P.E. IN SCHOOLS (Lee- Shann,2015) Physical activities are compulsory for human growth and development as they allow proper growth of organs. P.E develops learners social qualities as well as their mental abilities. P.E helps learners utilise their leisure time by using a variety of physical activities. P.E develops learners physical endurance, coordination, strength and body control for optimum body functioning.
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Inso, 2014) Exercises helps boost energy and improves the mood. Exercise controls weight and help to combat health conditions such as obesity and depression. Exercise is consistently proven to drastically reduce anxiety and stress caused by overwhelming classroom demands (Hawxhurst, 2018). Physical activities aid in improving sleep quality as exercises naturally wear off the body and reduce sleep disorders. Physical activities improve the self-esteem of an individual- learners learn new skills in a safe environment which boosts their self-image. P.E improves learners mobility, flexibility and muscle endurance, it helps them become active and fit. P.E. helps learners to determine their hidden talents through participation, they discover which physical activity they enjoy the most.
Fundamental movement skills: Jumping Skipping Running Kicking Throwing Catching Walking Balancing
Examples of physical activities Include indigenous games, e.g. tug of war, hopscotch, dibeke, soccer etc. these improve learners social skills. Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercises which improve learners cardiorespiratory endurance. Strengthening exercises, good for muscular endurance and strength. May include doing squads, lifting weighs and fitness circuit. Doing house chores is also a physical activity as part of your body is moving, lifting or walking.
VERY IMPORTANT IN EVERY P.E. CLASS! P.E. CLOTHES Choose loose comfortable clothing for maximum stretching and confidence. A jean or skirt is certainly uncomfortable You may wear cycling shorts, tight moisture-wicking leggings and vests/ t-shirt. Correct clothing allows for maximum participation from all learners. WARM-UP Increases overall body and muscle temperatures which increase blood flow to the active muscles. Exercising without warming up places a potentially dangerous stress on the heart. You may do dynamic stretches like high knees, butt kicks, jog on spot or frog jumps. COOL DOWN Reduce heart and breathing rates thus gradually cool body temperature. Cool down should also be followed with replacing lost fluids during exercises. You can do static stretches like standing quad stretch, hamstring stretch, child-pose and upper body stretch.
