POSITIVE HEALTH

The interaction of heredity

(genetics), diet and physical

activity is responsible for ones

positive health which is resistant

to inevitable exposures to

unhealthy environment.

- Hippocrates 480 BC

P.E. NEGLECTED IN SCHOOLS

The formal physical education (which is

the only means of teaching

fundamentals of physical activity) has

been neglected by the educationists

and educational curriculum developing

agencies by not conducting the

examinations in Physical Education at

school level, till date.

IMPLEMENTATION NEGLECTED

We, as educational planners are always

busy in finding methods for improvement,

but do not bother to implement the proven

known methods of sure improvements e.g.

introduction of essential physical

education (wellness) component to all

graduation courses, creation of a

departments of P.E. & M.&E. at each

university.

HEALTHY LIVING

Daily Physical Activity combined with right

diet is the only way of healthy and

productive living. This is possible by

producing a handbook of daily schedules,

say by UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF, UGC,

NUEPA, NCTE’ AIU, SAI, LNIPE, BPCA or

NCERT. But this effective seed is yet to

find proper place and subsequent

universal nurturing.

COMPULSORY P.E.A.

The effective inclusion of the

compulsory paper of ‘Physical

Education for All’ depends upon the

experts in education and the

authorities.

But the projection of modernized,

effectively imple-mentable parts of

physical education are to be designed

by us, the physical educationists.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Prof. Dr. G.V.

Pargaonkar, Dr. G.K. Dhokrat, all

organizers and the Bombay Physical

Culture Association for selecting the

most important but most un-noticed

topic so far, for a conference.

I hope that they will be following the

recommendations of this conference

for effective implementation by the

relevant agencies.

UNIVERSAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Convincing the relevant agencies for the

need and importance of ‘Physical

Education for All’ as the end and

‘Sports for All’ as the means to reach

that end because Physical Education is

the only practical way to promote health-

care, fitness, wellness, sports &

performance.

GENERAL DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL

EDUCATION

“Physical education is that part of

education which has to do with the

development and training of the

whole individual through physical

activities”.

– A.R. Wayman.

MODERN DEFINITION

“The process of acquiring knowledge,skills and behaviour change for imbibinghealthy nutrition and adequate physicalactivity in one’s daily schedule orregimen, in compliance to one’sconstitution (age, sex, physique) as wellas, improving one’s recreative feeling byparticipation in sports competitions withright sports training”.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIA (1996)

DECLARATION

Re-establishment of regular physical

activity into everyday life on a daily basis.

The attainment of metabolic fitness through

nutrition and physical activity reduces the

risk of many modern lifestyle diseases

such as diabetes, hypertension, Osteo-

porosis, some cancers, obesity, & cardio-

vascular disorders.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

IMPLEMENTABLE CAPSULE-I

An international committee by

UNESCO and a national

committee by UGC/NCTE or

NUEPA should immediately be

constituted to provide standard

essentials of physical education.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

IMPLEMENTABLE CAPSULE contd.

NCERT should also appoint a monitoring

committee to prove validity of physical

education programme implementation in

each school through an examination paper

to be qualified by each student, before he

could be awarded higher secondary

certificate

NO UNIFORM OR MODEL

COURSE CONTENT

We do not have any uniformmodel course content toproduce competent physicaleducation teachers. NCTE isyet to approve any three yearor four year degree course afterplus two stage.

VALIDITY OF COURSES

NCTE should prescribe a validity

test for all courses run for

producing physical education

teachers for the schools.

As far as possible, a uniform

master’s course content and

structure should be provided by

NCTE with in span of 2 years.

UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT

OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Each university must have

the obligation to start a

separate department of

physical education and

sports sciences within a

span of 3 years.

SPORTS AS MOTIVATOR TO

PHYSICAL EDUCATON

The intrinsic interest develops

only when one enjoys an

activity. “Sports are the best

mode of creating intrinsic

interest in Physical Activity &

Physical Education”.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION

QUOTATIONS

“No matter whatever amount of work

one has, one should always find time

for daily exercise as one does for one’s

meals”.

- MAHATMA GANDHI

‘Healthy mind resides only in healthy

body’.

- MAHATMA BUDHA

PRACTICABLE ESSENTIALS OF P.E.

Each individual must be trained to maintain a daily

dairy (log book) to record one’s physical activity done

in addition to one’s routine activities.

Each individual must walk briskly for atleast 30

minutes almost daily, in one go or in bouts of say 10-

15 minutes, with intervals as per convenience.

There is no internal homeostatic process in the body

(like hunger pangs) to compel each individual for

physical activity.

Therefore, we have to prescribe a minimal standard

which could protect us against all hypokinetic

diseases.

PHYSICAL ILLITERACY AMONG

INDIAN UNIVERSITIESIt is heartening to note that only

17% of Indian Universities are literature inphysical education and that

83% of the universities do not include theteaching of physical education in any formindicating their illiteracy and ignorance tothe necessity of learning guidelines ofgeneral physical exercises essential forpreventing hypokinetic diseases.

For Children who have greater health risks, should

be informed about the importance of preventive

role of regular physical activity through sports.

Rehabilitation of many ailments is possible

through prescribed physical activities which may

be regularized by improvised sports of the

disabled group if needed.

Some children may be more interested in

friendship and cooperation, accordingly, team

sports may be recommended for them.

FIVE STEP OBJECTIVE

1. All universities to start departments of physicaleducation.

2. UNESCO or WHO to establish universal capsuleof PEA.

3. PEAR (Physical Education paper for AllResource persons – Pre-service Teachers).

4. Each university to create CDCs (CoursesDevelopment Councils) and Publication Cells ineach faculty.

5. Pre-service courses to include (three papers):-

(i) Practical Measurement & Evaluation,

(ii) Physical Fitness & Wellness for All,

(iii) Sports Talent Selection & Counselling.

VISION

Inspite of cleansing leaves, roots

are to be nurtured for healthcare,

fitness, wellness, sports and

human performance through PEA

(Physical Education for All).

MISSION

Promotion of the following activities:-

• International Projects for universal &

effective Handbook on PEA selection

contents.

• National Projects for UGC, NUEPA,

NCTE for creating Departments,

national directives and courses for

PEA (Physical Education for All).

GOALS

By 2012 i.e. in five years:-

• All PEAR pre-services teachers’ courses toteach lab. Practicals, wellness and sportstalent selection.

• NCTE to constitute valid CDC (CoursesDevelopment Councils) for standardizingcourses and PE Teaching specializ-ations.

• M.P.Ed. degree to be diversified to atleast fivespecializations:-- M.P.Ed. (F) - Foundation.

- M.P.Ed. (E.P.) - Ex. Physiol.

- M.P.Ed. (KTS) - Kinanthropometry & Talent Selection.

- M.P.Ed. (PME) - Practical Measurement & Evaluation.

- M.P.Ed. (ST) - Sports Training & Scientific Techniq
