Physical education

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.

Physical Education as an academic discipline

The academic discipline of physical education (often styled variously as kinesiology, human performance etc.) is taught as a field of study at the undergraduate and graduate levels in colleges and universities around the world. Both teaching and non-teaching degree programs are offered through the doctoral level. The professional discipline is supported by regional, national, and international associations (See External links). Literature in the discipline and subdisciplines (exercise physiology, pedagogy, biomechanics, etc.) is reported through numerous scholarly journals (e.g., International Review of Sport Sociology).
