1.1.Introduction
Physical education is an essential and integral part of the total education program and makes significant contributions toward the achievement of desirable education and health outcomes through the medium of physical activity. Quality physical education programs promote the physical growth and development of children and youth while contributing to their general health and well being. They are based on a planned sequence of experiences in a wide variety of activities beginning with basic movement skills and progressing toward more complex sport, dance, and other forms of movement. Ultimately, they should help young people keep physically fit and enjoy many forms of physical activity during the school years and continuing throughout life.
