About the Book

The health and physical education learning area is about taking action to enhance well-being. It encompasses three different but related subjects - health education, physical education, and home economics - with a shared conceptual framework and achievement objectives. 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 well-being. It plays an important role in the development of an individual just as a school room education does. In order to have a quality Physical education at all levels it is essential to have a qualitative scientific literature/information on various aspects of physical education.The present book is a step in this direction which has been designed as both a text and a resource in physical education. As a text it will prepare undergraduates in Physical education courses. As a resource it may serve variety of individuals such as teachers, coaches, volunteers and other professionals. In our society sport fulfils important functions and is indeed indispensable. It offers opportunities for physical activity in a world where physical activity is increasingly diminishing; it promotes good health and well-being; and it provides a means of social contact and ample opportunity for intensive experiences. Aim of this book is a careful selection of the important aspects of physical administration written by the authorities on the subject through the ages. Selection is mainly oriented to the requirement of the teachers and students of physical education.
