What is the meaning of physical education?

Physical education refers to the instruction of physical activities and games. Specifically, it is used to denote the courses in school in which students receive instruction and practice in physical exercise in order to promote good health.

Physical education, or P.E., is a standard course for primary and secondary schools all over the world. The activities of the course traditionally consist of aerobics, anaerobic exercise (like strength training and sprinting), flexibility training, gymnastics and a wide range of competitive games. In secondary schools, P.E. is often an alternative to participation in organized sports for students to meet state requirements for graduation.
