Introduction
Many people see Physical Education as Physical Activity or Game. Physical Activity or
Game is only a subset of the entire Physical Education Curriculum, however, physical activity or
Game is the key foundation of a successful PE program. In today’s high tech society, a
successful Physical Education (PE) plays an important role in the physical growth and
development of students in fighting against the sedentary lifestyle brought towards us through
the convenience of new technology and devices. Through PE, students acquire the knowledge,
skills, right attitudes and values towards the pursuit of a lifelong physically active and healthy
lifestyle. It also provides an avenue for students to express themselves through movement and
physical activity.

Physical Education came from the Latin words “physica,” which means “study of
nature”. Meaning ”pertaining to matter” is from 1590s; meaning “having to do with the body,
corporeal” is attested from 1780. Meaning “characterized by bodily attributes or activities” is
attested from 1970. Physical education first recorded 1838; abbreviated form phys ed is from
1955.(Etymonline.com)
Dr. Carmen Tabije Andin (1978) defined Physical Education as an integral part of the
educational program designed to promote the optimum development of an individual
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally through total body movement in the performance
of properly selected physical activities.
Physical Education program is designed such that all students are given the opportunity
to participate in a variety of physical activities such as sports and games and acquire the
concepts and skills that will enable them to participate in these sports and games both for
leisure and competition. In addition, PE provides a natural platform and valuable opportunities
to develop self-management skills, social and co-operative skills, and build character. It serves
to complement other educational areas in promoting the desired outcomes of education. In
particular, PE helps to cultivate healthy habits, teamwork, resilience, and high self-esteem.
Objectives of Physical Education
The Roman poet Juvenal likely did not have physical education objectives in mind when
he wrote the line "a sound mind in a sound body." But in true poetic fashion that one line sums
up the spectrum of goals and objectives for physical education.
Physical education is a course that is taken seriously in many countries all over the
world, where a lack of this vital subject may expose kids to the early consequences of an
unhealthy lifestyle, among other problems. Let's take a closer look at the objectives of physical
education, and how schools need to inculcate its importance in one's life.
The objectives of physical education are focused on the acquisition of those skills
through the following aspects of development: a) physical; b) mental; c) emotional; d) social;
and e) spiritual and moral. (Dimapilis, 2009)
a. Physical Development
Focus in on the attainment and development of physical skills which can increase
one’s capability to enjoy lifetime recreational pursuits. This is attained through regular
exercises and participation in varied activities. Regular physical activity and good physical
fitness help enhance the quality of life in many ways.
Page 5 of 23
b. Mental Development
Through physical education activities, learners acquire knowledge and
understanding of rules and strategies of the games, techniques in sports and dance
instructions. Varied activities in physical education help students develop their ability to
analyze body movements, skills and game situations.
c. Emotional Development
Physical Education activities provide opportunities for self-expression and emotional
mastery. People who have more positive balance of feelings which increases and develops
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.
d. Social Development
Physical activity often promotes the opportunity to be with other people. Through
social experience, many appreciate the importance of physical education activities. Through
active participation, students develop positive and desirable traits like cooperation,
sportsmanship, friendliness, good leadership, respect for others and honesty in group
competition.

The Service Physical Education course in college refers to the four subjects required
from freshmen and sophomores in the first four semesters as stipulated in the CHED Order No.
58, series of 1990.
This course will enable the students to discover their strengths and weaknesses through
diagnostic physical fitness testing and appropriate conditioning exercises. It also includes
follow-up study gymnastics, such as the basic fundamental positions, free hand exercise,
routines with the use of light apparatus and simple skills in tumbling and stunts performance
for self-testing activity
This course is a study on the basic movement and rhythmic skills in learning and creating
simple dances, basic dance steps and terms needed in the correct interpretation and
performance of Ballroom Dance and Phil. Folk Dance.
PE003 is a study of Individual and Dual games exemplified by rules of different events in
International games as well as in Olympics. It also includes the best possible demonstration of
the skills to be learned and continually assist the students in practice using techniques and
strategies in the execution of the form of play for their improvement.
