Methods of Teaching Physical Education

In most educational systems, physical education is a course in the curriculum which utilizes the learning medium of large-muscle activities in a play or movement exploration setting. It aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, capacities, and values along with the enthusiasm to maintain a healthy lifestyle into adulthood, regardless of their physical abilities. It is almost always mandatory for students in elementary schools, and often for students in middle schools and high schools.  This book is unique because it focuses solely on the physical education teaching process–the skills and techniques that successful teachers use to make their classes more interesting and developmentally appropriate. It will serve as a comprehensive reference tool for physical education methods courses, teachers of physical education, physical education department chairs and administrators.
