Physical Education is defined as education through movement. It is an instructional program that gives attention to all learning domains: psychomotor, cognitive, and affective. No other area of the curriculum is designed to help children learn motor and lifetime activity skills. This makes physical education a necessary component of the total school curriculum. It is not enough to educate children academically; they must also be educated physically. –Robert P. Pangrazi
