THE EVOLUTION OF P.E

 3. The Evolution of P.E

Everyone will have different memories of their physical education at school. Be
it skipping lessons or getting covered in mud playing rugby, what is obvious is
that physical education has long needed to change and evolve to match the times.
This blog hopes to provide a brief insight into how physical education has
evolved, where it is today, and the effect this has had on students.

 


THE HISTORY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

In the 1800s, P.E focused on gymnastics, hygiene and taking are of the human
body. Although much of the end goals are the same, the way they get to these has
changed substantially.

P.E. has often been a great divider of pupils; those that are good at sport, and
those that are not. This created a large body of students reluctant to
participate. Given P.E class is designed to educate pupils on how to look after
themselves, why is it that for so long that children have been skipping classes?



Simply put, isolated physical activity does not suit the personalities of many
people. Thankfully knowledge surrounding physical education has improved
greatly. The focus on discipline and competition has shifted to a focus on
participation, engagement, leadership and teamwork. Grading a student on their
physical abilities will neither encourage them or help them. Educating a student
to work as a team to reach goals is something that will help for the rest of
their life. Additionally, the physical elements of P.E have also evolved. With
greater research and knowledge, fitness has become focused on a wider variation
of activities that use different movements and techniques.

P.E today also emphasises the value of exercise in physical and mental
well-being. This is because countless studies have shown that exercise can help
overcome depression and improve concentration and work performance. All this in
addition to the good routines that this can carry into adult life.

The study of physical education is also essential for physical fitness, and
physical fitness is a human need. The focus of modern P.E is on educating pupils
on how to assess their own fitness and the importance of fitness on their
future.

With today’s obesity problem, it has never been more important for children to
enjoy sport. Making exercise fun and educational will help pupils to prolong
their commitment. This is where inspiresport gained inspiration. We provide
tours for children to iconic stadiums not as a touring activity, but as sporting
one. We believe that getting children involved in memorable exercise will
inspire them for years to come.

Another great example of this is The Daily Mile UK. This incentive gets primary
children out of the classroom to complete a daily mile. The incentive states
that by the fourth week, every child should be able to jog or run the full mile.
This progression is something that will stick with children and inspire them to
exercise to see improvement.

The Daily Mile isn’t sport and it isn’t P.E. However, incorporating this into
your teaching plan will certainly educate children on the benefits of physical
exercise. When it comes to the sports you teach during lessons, focus is moving
away from competitive sport to activities that can be enjoyed and completed by
all.

Geoff Bannister from Speedminton Australia says: “My personal experience working
with PE Teachers for the last 12 years has been introducing a modified racket
sport called Speedminton into over 3500 Australian Primary and Secondary
schools. The new generation of PE Teacher is looking for activities that:

“1. Are inclusive and relatively user-friendly (increased screen time activities
have produced a drop off in fundamental motor skills)

“2. Not solely focus on competition or winning games (Speedminton can be played
competitively, but more often provides fun games and drills that develop skills
suitable to the age and ability of the individual)

“3. Allow the entire class to be active and involved at the same time (many of
the traditional sports enable “star” players to control large segments of the
play (e.g. bowling or batting in Cricket or running with the ball in Rugby or
Basketball)

“4. New and fun; kids like anything that’s edgy and that they may have not seen
before (they also need instant gratification and being able to play Speedminton
well almost from the outset means they “buy in” to the activity).”

Other great examples of how P.E. has changed are the rising popularity of
physically active school trips. In secondary schools, these can be substantial
trips (such as skiing) or less demanding options (such as surfing). In primary
schools, this can be trips away, such as Urdd Cymru activity centres like the
Llangrannog summer camp in Wales.
