Spartans and Athenians were the first to have one type of physical education. Although very different, both systems have served the people and their needs. Spartan organization was alike to the dictatorship. Male kids we’re taken at the age of 7 to learn fundamental military skills in the barracks. When the children reached the age of fourteen years began to learn the tactics of the fight against the group allowing them to success, while in the army at the age of twenty to thirty. Once the thirties, while men could marry a woman who was training her own children to be strong. Spartans philosophy was basically to be able to invade other countries if necessary, and to prevent other countries to attack.
Philosophy Athenians were very different in comparison with the Spartans. Athenian culture was very democratic, and focus on training the mind and body. Reading and writing is a big part of society and physical activity, which was held in the city center, where it was placed in the gym. Philosophy of Physical Education Athenians were the culmination of physical education for many years.
Some other cycles in physical education, we have developed from the Romans, the Dark Ages and the Crusades. Roman period is a bit disconcerting, but the cycle of physical education. Physical education for the Romans was the athletics, which focused on fun. People were forced to fight to the death, and often feeding lions. During the Dark Ages, religion, physical education considered a waste of time and work of the devil. The Dark Ages was a time for very sedentary human civilization. After a dark period in about 1096, the Crusades. The Crusades were the days muscular Christianity, because the Muslim conquerors of Jerusalem. Muscular Christianity is essentially a Christian faith that educated to become good soldiers, the more Christian person. In 1270, the Crusades ended, and therefore the idea of physical education is valid until about 1400, when the Renaissance began. Physical Education in the Renaissance is quite similar to today, physical education. It is better, and not doing something for someone else. Development of Physical Education has a setback in the 1600s, when he was very functional and not a priority. People believed that if the purpose was a waste of time.
During the 1700s, there was great variation in physical education, which can be largely attributed to three people: Rousseau, Johan Simon and courage Muths. Rousseau was the first person to support education for the masses, and it was also to play as educational. During 1712, Rousseau made an activity that is used by kids every day, free time. Johan Simon was the 1st teacher of physical education and believed that physical education must take place with the writing and reading. Simon believes physical education should include a large amount of physical labor. Guts Muth developed a range of gym equipment and believe in physical education has developed important social skills. These people in the 1700s, and things began to pave the path where we are today.
During the 1800s, physical education programs were to find a way to universities, which have contributed to many things that we have today. New sports were invented in the house were introduced in schools, women began to exercise, gyms can be found in most high schools, and many recreational areas and parks were built to reduce crime. This continued in the 1900s that the creation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association College athletics regulate, and the golden age of sport for 20 "and 30 years. During this golden age of sport, the number of people in sports has increased dramatically, the number of teachers rose and began to define sports participation sport. In 1941, World War II, which started a big shock to her. At first designed two million men, 45% failed his physical. With this, the physical education began to be heavily pressured schools to improve the health of the U.S. population.
Since the Second World War, the United States continues to stress the importance of physical education, which led him to what is now a very complex area with many different sub-disciplines. Sub-disciplines are:
- "Exercise Physiology, which is the study of body systems and their response to exercise stress.
- Kinesiology, which is the study of how the muscular system moves the bone structure in the body.
- Biomechanics, which is the study of human body as a mechanical system using the principles and applications of physics.
- Motor learning, which is the development of engine power due to experience and practice.
- Sociology of Sport, which is a social structure, social habits and social organization of groups involved in sport.
Sports psychology, which is a plot of behavior and psychological problems and issues in sport -.
Sport Pedagogy, which is the study of learning and coaching, the results of this effort, and content of health, physical education and sports training programs "(Siedentop) -.
These sub-disciplines bring many new jobs for people in education, and certainly further bifurcate to form in the future.
Physical education has certainly come a long way from the Spartans and Athenians. The authoritarian system of support for physical education sciences study a variety of intangible assets, physical education for a better mind and body. These new science apparently spread "umbrella of physical education," but when you look into the future, there is really no end in sight. Culture "umbrella" will continue to expand as new thoughts and ideas, and with them new to science.
