“The state shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league

And that the following policies, standards and guidelines are hereby adopted and promulgated
by the Commission:

Article I, sec. 1. Rationale and background

Physical education as an academic discipline and as a profession plays an important role in

human development and continue to expand as a fast rate. By their very nature, physical education
and sports are about participation, inclusion and a sense of belonging, they bring individuals and
communities together, highlighting commonalities and bridging cultural and ethnic divides. Physical
education and sports provide an opportunity to learn skills, discipline, confidence and leadership and
they convey core principles that are important in a democracy, such as tolerance, cooperation and
respect. It teaches the fundamental value of effort and how to manage essential steps in life such
as victory or defeat. For the individual, sports enhance one’s personal abilities, general health and
self-knowledge. On the national level, physical education and sports contribute to economic and
social growth, improve public health, and bring different communities together. On the global level,
if used consistently, physical education and sports can have a long-lasting positive impact on
development, public health, peace and the environment.

Physical education is a life- long process. Every college student must continue his/her
participation in a developmental program of physical activities that are healthful, intellectually
invigorating, morally uplifting, socially significant, culturally enhancing and environmentally oriented.

Physical Education as an academic discipline is directed towards understanding people, with

particular reference on the ability to move, the ways on how to utilize this ability, and the ways to
which this ability is related to other aspects of functioning as a whole person. Thus, movement as a
dynamic function of man is the area of central concern that gives physical education its unique
identity as an academic discipline.

The general objectives of Physical Education are as follows:

1. To develop the movement potentials of each individual to an optimum level.

2. To develop a basic understanding and appreciation of human movement.
3. To develop and maintain the optimal physical fitness and functionality of the individual.
4. To develop skills, knowledge and attitudes basic to voluntary participation in satisfying,
enjoyable physical activity experience.

5. To develop personally rewarding and socially acceptable behaviors through participation in

varied movement activities for a lifetime.

In the 1971 Physical Education Public Information (PEPI) project of the American Association
for Health, Physical Education, policy makers and funding agencies about the goals and values of
Physical Education, PEPI defined a “physically educated “person as possessing knowledge and skill
concerning his or her body and how it functions. The significance of the contribution of physical
education in the lives of students both youths and adults are highlighted as follows:

 Physical Education is insurance.

 Physical Education contributes to academic achievement
 Physical Education provides skills and experiences that can last a lifetime.
 Physical Education helps in developing a positive self- image and ability to compete
and cooperate with others.

In addition, Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical Education and Sports, UNESCO,
Paris, 1978 and Recommendation 1, Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of Experts on Physical
Education, UNESCO, Brisbane, Australia, 1982, states that:
“The practice of Physical Education and Sports is a fundamental right for all.”
“And this right should not be treated as different in principle from the right to adequate food,
shelter and medical care.”

In modern parlance, Physical Education is education through “movement”. Wunderlich (1976)

says of movement:

 It provides sensory data.

 It broadens the perceptive horizon.
 It stimulates the function and structure of bodily organs.
 It is the means by which an individual learns about himself in relation to his ambient
environment.

DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Physical Education is an integral part of the education program which aims to promote
optimum development of an individual physically, mentally, socially and emotionally in the

1. Major Goal of Physical Education – FITNESS is the ability to live a healthy, satisfying, and
useful life.
2. Ultimate Goal of Physical Education – “GOOD LIFE” means that an individual satisfies his
basic needs as physical well-being, love, attention, security and self-respect.

FUNCTIONS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

1. Biologic Functions - the enhancement of the individual's growth and development through
body movements.
2. Integrative Functions - personality integration achieved through participation in properly
selected physical education activities.
3. Social Functions - the transmitting of values and standards that are considered consistent
with the needs and ideals of society.

OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The following objectives of Physical Education are viewed and stated in terms of its
contributions to the outcomes of education which justify its existence in the curriculum.

1. Physical development - through the carefully selected physical education activities, an

individual who participates actively will develop and maintain good health and a high level of
physical fitness. The acquisition of physical skills can motivate an individual to participate
further in physical activities; hence, his growth and development will be enhanced.
2. Social Development - participation in the physical education activities provides opportunities
for the development of desirable social traits needed for adjustment to the social life in general.
Some of the worthwhile traits are: friendliness, cooperation, respect for the rights of others,
good sportsmanship, good leadership and followership, and honesty in group competition.
3. Emotional Development - the informal nature of physical education activities offers
opportunities for self-expression and emotional mastery. Examples of worthwhile emotional
traits are: self-confidence, self-control, self-reliance, courage and determination.
4. Mental Development - through participation in Physical Education activities, the individual
develops his mental capacities as he learns the mechanical principle underlying movement,
as he requires knowledge and understanding of rules and strategies of games and sports,
and as he discovers ways of improving his movements in gymnastics and dance.
