Physical education refers to the instruction of physical activities and games. Speci cally, it is used to denote the courses in school in which students receive instruction and practice in physical exercise in order to promote good health. Physical Education is "education through the physical". It aims to develop students’ physical competence and knowledge of movement
and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops students’ con dence and generic skills, especially those of collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These, together with the nurturing of positive values
and attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for students’ lifelong and life-wide learning.
