Physical education is defined as: instruction in the development and care of the body ranging from simple calisthenic exercises to a course of study providing training in hygiene, gymnastics, and the performance and management of athletic games.  In Girls fitness participation is required and all students must workout and exercise to receive a passing grade.  

NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The National Association for Sports and Physical Education (NASPE) established national content standards for physical education school programs that clearly identify what all students should know and be able to do as a result of participation in a quality education program. The competencies chosen for the framework were taken directly from the NASPE content standards for physical education.

The National Standards for Physical Education are as follows:

• Demonstrates an understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning, development and performance of physical activities;

• Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings; and

• Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.
