Concept and Introduction of
Physical Education & Health
 What is
Physical
Education?
• Andin (1988) defined physical
education as an integral part
of the educational program
designed to promote the
optimum development of the
individual physically, socially,
emotionally, and mentally
through total body movement
in the performance of
properly selected physical
activities.
What are the objectives
of Physical Education?
• Physical education as a part of the
educational system strives to

of the individuals so that they

Development

3. Emotional
Development
• Physical education activities provide
opportunities for self-expression
and emotional mastery. People who
have more positive feeling about
physical activities are said to have
positive balance of feelings. A positive
balance feeling increases the chances
that a person will develop self-
confidence, self-reliance, and self-
control. Positive character traits like
courage and discipline are most likely
to become part of an individual’s life
 4. Social
Development
• Physical activity often promotes
the opportunity to be with
other people. It is in this social
experience that many appreciate
the importance of physical
education activities. Through
active participation in the
activities, positive and
desirable traits are
developed like cooperation,
sportsmanship, friendliness,
good leadership, respect for
others, and honesty in group
competition.

• Physical Education aims to help students
to develop skills and good habits. It
assists in developing skilled, smart, happy,
competent, and intelligent individuals. It
refers to the enhancement of the
individual’s growth and development
through total body movements. The
informal nature of the activities in physical
education class provides relaxation and
relief from strains and tensions. Physical
education activities teach students to work
as part of a team or an individual in a wide
variety of play-like and physical education
activities. Students will develop good
health and maintain their high level of
physical fitness that enables them to enjoy
good life (Dimapilis, N.J. et al., 2009).
Physical Fitness &
Wellness
Let's first define!
Physical Fitness
Physical Fitness
• defined as “a physical state of
wellbeing that allows people to
perform daily tasks or activities
with vigor, reduce the risk of
health problems related to lack of
exercise and establish a fitness
base for participation in a variety
of physical activities (AAPHERD).
• Physical fitness refers to the ability of
your body systems to work together
efficiently to allow you to be healthy and
perform activities of daily living. Being
efficient means doing daily activities with
the least effort possible. A fit person
can perform schoolwork, meet home
responsibilities, and still have
enough energy to enjoy sport and
other leisure activities. A fit person
can respond effectively to normal life
situations, such as raking leaves at
home, stocking shelves at a part-time
job, and marching in the band at school.
A fit person can also respond to
emergency situations - for example, by
running to get help or aiding a friend in
distress.

 Physical fitness has been considered as an
important goal of physical education. Good physical
fitness and regular physical activity are important to
wellness. Regular physical activity and good fitness play a
vital role to enhance quality of life in many ways. Physical
fitness and exercises can help one look well, feel good,
and enjoy life. Exercise helps keep the person’s fat levels
low and improve his muscles tone thus resulting to a good
self-perception. Fitness and exercise have been physical
health benefits that help an individual feel good and
function effectively (Dimapilis, [Link], 2008).

pursuit—we have self-
responsibility for our
own choices, behaviors
and lifestyles—but it is

influenced by the
physical, social and
cultural environments in
