Physical Education embraces a body of knowledge, which is dependent upon many disciplines and includes the analysis of a wide range of specialized skills. Physical activities provide an avenue to develop motor skills, i.e. the urge to run and jump is paramount to the development of the young. Games provide the scope for individual and group activities and, therefore, promote values and attitudes for life. The growing interest and emphasis on sport in society today provides a medium for competition which further motivate the need for excellence as well as social and moral development. The student teacher should therefore aim to present a well-balanced Physical Education program which will produce young men and women who have attained maximum motor development and move with ease, confidence and a sense of well being.
