Study of history of Physical Education
Keywords:
Physica, EducationAbstract
A significant number of recent research have revealed that physical exercise in children and teenagers is one of the most obvious causes of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. However, few research have indicated that physical training is lacking and sedentary behaviour is prevalent among the young. The alleged connection between physical activity and physical education is still a tabuistic topic for educators, parents and teachers. Palliative methods to introduce activities to schools via after-school programmes have been implemented
