In most educational systems, physical education (PE) is a course in the curriculum which utilizes the learning medium of large-muscle activities in a play or movement exploration setting.

The primary aim of physical education is 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. Activities included in the program are designed to promote physical fitness, to develop motor skills, to instill knowledge and understanding of rules, concepts, and strategies, and to teach students to work as part of a team, or as individuals, in a wide variety of playlike and competitive activities.

Physical education is not so much education of the physical, as education through the physical.

The better programs require, or encourage, participants to wear standardized uniforms or loose-fitting, light clothing that promotes free movement, safety and hygiene.
